\"CarlesDr. Carles Estruch has been awarded the IABSE Prize 2020<\/a><\/strong> “for his expertise gained while working in the fields of research, design and construction, contributing in a holistic way to the field of structural engineering.”. Estruch is the Engineering Director of Buildair<\/a><\/strong>, a spin-off Company of CIMNE.<\/p>\n

He<\/span> has an outstanding academic and professional career having worked <\/span>—<\/span>as the <\/span>organisation of the prize highlights—<\/span> with a holistic view in the fields of research<\/strong>, design and construction in all his projects<\/span>. Inflatable structures in engineering have a multidisciplinary component<\/strong> which probably many may not be aware of: the numerical analysis and design is quite complex, while the manufacturing phase has several physical limitations and comparatively short delivery times, which is a challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Estruch did his PhD at the<\/span> UPC · BarcelonaTech (Technical University of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain) with a PhD thesis<\/span> e<\/span>ntitled “Concept of Lightweight, Modular and Portable Inflatable Beams Bridge Concept”<\/strong><\/a>,<\/span> which was <\/span> supervised by Prof. Eugenio Oñate<\/strong>, director of CIMNE, and by <\/span>Prof. Benjamín Suárez.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Estruch has been fully devoted to the field of inflatable structures for temporary use in engineering at his current workplace in the company Buildair. Over<\/span> the past nine years, he has gained expertise in innovative structures which mainly focus on large-scale inflatable hangars with up to 100 m width for airplanes maintenance<\/strong>, as well as in light-weight fast-deployable inflatable bridges with up to 30 m span for vehicles up to 30 tons, functional during emergency. He has participated in more than 20 projects (13 hangars, 3 bridges and others), during the engineering phase, manufacturing and management.<\/p>\n

About the award<\/h3>\n

The IABSE Early Career Prize<\/strong> was established to honour and encourage a member early in his or her career for an outstanding achievement in structural engineering<\/strong>. The Award is conferred on an individual member, forty years of age or younger. The Prize includes a prize money and registration to the IABSE Conference where the Award Presentation is held. The first IABSE Prize was presented in 1983.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
