Associate Professor at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú
Nicola Tarque is an Associate Professor at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP) and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University Gabriele d'Annunzio Chieti-Pescara. Recently (2012), he has awarded by the Coimbra Group Universities to collaborate with a joint project at the University “Gabriele D’Annunzio” (Pescara) and at the University of Pavia, both institutions in Italy.
Nicola graduated in Civil Engineering at the "San Luis Gonzaga" University of Ica (Peru) in 2002. He obtained the Master degree in Civil Engineering at the PUCP (2005) under the supervision of Dr. Marcial Blondet; the Master degree in Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology at the Institute for Advanced Study of Pavia (IUSS), Italy (2008), under the supervision of Dr. Rui Pinho and Dr. Helen Crowley; and recently the PhD degree in Earthquake Engineering at the ROSE School – IUSS, Italy (2011), under the supervision of Dr. Enrico Spacone, Dr. Guido Camata and Dr. Humberto Varum.
Nicola has been involved in projects related to masonry and earthen dwellings and he has been in charged of dynamic test of full-scale adobe houses at the PUCP. His latest researches deal with the displacement-based seismic risk assessment of adobe dwellings, the numerical modelling of masonry structures and expected ground motions at historical sites. Besides, he has recently collaborated with the conceptual design study of a seismic isolation system for the European Extremely Large Telescope.
His main work field concerns the non linear dynamic analysis of structures, finite element modelling, seismic design of masonry and reinforced concrete structures, evaluation of the seismic vulnerability, seismic hazard and seismic risk assessment.
