Mauro Aimar

Mauro Aimar is a Fixed-term Assistant Professor in the Department of Structural, Geotechnical and Building Engineering (DISEG) at Politecnico di Torino, Italy. He is affiliated with the College of Civil and Building Engineering and serves as an invited member of the College of Environmental and Land Engineering. His academic and research activities focus on geotechnical earthquake engineering, seismic hazard, soil-structure interaction, and structural health monitoring.

His research interests include:

• Seismic response and site characterization
• Scour of foundations and bridge piers
• Modal analysis and damping ratio estimation
• Numerical modeling of unsaturated soils
• Experimental testing in civil engineering

Aimar's recent publications (2023–2025) center on seismic performance of bridges under scour, advanced site characterization using surface waves, and numerical modeling of soil-structure systems. His work combines experimental, numerical, and field-based approaches to assess infrastructure resilience. Key themes include Rayleigh wave analysis, MASW testing, FEM modeling of infiltration, and dynamic monitoring of bridge piers.

He supervises PhD student Marlio Molina Manrique in the Civil and Environmental Engineering program. His teaching contributions span multiple degree levels, including courses on Soil-Structure Interaction, Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering, Seismic Risk, and InfraBIM.

He has no listed scientific awards in the provided sources.

Mauro Aimar actively contributes to research projects involving testing and measurement in civil engineering, with a focus on seismic resilience and infrastructure safety. He collaborates with Prof. Sebastiano Foti and other researchers in geotechnical and earthquake engineering.
