Research area(s)
Marianna has been working on the seismic performance of buildings in the last 10 years. She studies the seismic vulnerability of these structures by means of nonlinear analysis methods and innovative modelling approaches. During time spent at the University of Buffalo, Marianna applied the Acoustic Emission technique for the corrosion detection in reinforced concrete elements. She is still working on this topic by studying the correlation between the Acoustic Emissions and the fatigue/fracture damage in metallic components of bridges under various loading conditions.
