Scholar-generated biography
Tiago A V Gaspar is a geotechnical engineer specializing in the behavior of expansive soils and their interaction with structures. His research focuses on the mechanical properties of expansive clays, including their water retention, swelling, and tensile behavior under various conditions. He has conducted extensive studies on unsaturated soil mechanics, centrifuge modeling, and the application of geotechnical monitoring systems. His work includes investigations into pile pull-out behavior, soil-structure interaction, and the development of low-cost monitoring solutions for geotechnical applications. Gaspar's research contributes to the understanding of soil behavior under dynamic and cyclic loading, with implications for foundation design and slope stability.
