MSc Theses

The page provides information on the MSc Theses developed by our Master Students in Civil Engineering, under the supervision of the professors and researchers of the Structures Research Group. MSc Theses are carried out within the framework of research projects, and contrribute to the achievement of their results. For each MSc Thesis, a leaflet can be downloaded, which brifely describes its motivations and aims, methods and results, and conclusions and future developments.
