• Corrosion of Reinforced Concrete
• +۵ مورد دیگر

Severin Häfliger is a Lecturer at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering at ETH Zurich, where he works at the Chair of Concrete Structures and Bridge Design within the Institute of Structural Engineering. His research focuses on the structural implications of corrosion in reinforced concrete structures, with particular emphasis on bond behavior and the assessment of corroded cantilever retaining walls. Häfliger completed his MSc in Civil Engineering at ETH Zurich with specialization in Structural Engineering and Hydraulic Engineering/Water Resources Management. His academic journey includes receiving the prestigious ETH Medal for his outstanding master thesis in 2015. Research Interests: Häfliger's primary research areas include structural engineering of reinforced concrete structures affected by corrosion, with specific focus on the bond behavior between corroded reinforcement and concrete, safety assessment of corroded retaining walls, and the development of advanced finite element models for predicting the structural behavior of corroded elements. His work bridges the gap between corrosion science and structural engineering, addressing critical challenges in infrastructure durability and safety assessment. The analysis of Häfliger's recent publications reveals a strong trend toward developing comprehensive methodologies for assessing the structural implications of localized corrosion. His research combines experimental testing with advanced numerical modeling, particularly non-linear finite element analysis, to understand how corrosion morphology affects structural behavior. This interdisciplinary approach spans civil engineering, materials science, and computational mechanics, with applications in infrastructure assessment, service life prediction, and structural safety evaluation. Scientific Awards: Best Paper Award for young researcher at the Conference on Capacity Assessment of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Structures in Parma (2023) ETH Medal for outstanding master thesis (2015) Professional Activities: Häfliger has been a Research Associate at ETH Zurich since 2015 and previously worked as a structural engineer at dsp Ingenieure & Planer AG in Greifensee (2014). Since 2018, he has been an active member of the Working Group on Reinforcing Steel within the Swiss Code Commission SIA 262 Structural Concrete, contributing to national standards development. Research Impact: Häfliger's work has significantly advanced the understanding of how corrosion morphology affects structural behavior, challenging traditional assumptions about corrosion damage in reinforced concrete. His research demonstrates that shallow, elongated corrosion pits (which are more common than previously thought) have less impact on structural capacity than deep, short pits with the same mass loss, potentially reducing unnecessary repair interventions in infrastructure.
