معرفی
Dimitrios Zimos is a researcher at City, University of London specializing in structural engineering with a focus on seismic behavior of reinforced concrete structures. He holds a Doctoral thesis from the same institution (2017), investigating post-peak response of existing reinforced concrete frames under seismic loads. His research emphasizes shear failure localization, finite element modeling, and earthquake engineering applications.
Key research areas include shear failure mechanisms in R/C columns, seismic performance assessment, and computational modeling of structural dynamics. Collaborations include studies on axial load redistribution effects and validation of finite element models against experimental data.
His work bridges experimental testing and numerical simulations to improve predictive capabilities for substandard R/C buildings, addressing critical issues like progressive collapse prevention and post-peak behavior characterization.
