Margherita Pauletta has been an associate professor of structural engineering at the University of Udine, Italy, since 2019 and is currently coordinator of the Building and Environmental Technologies course at this University. She was a researcher between 2016 and 2019 and a research fellow from 2004 to 2016. She received her degree and Ph.D, both in civil engineering, from the University of Udine in 2000 and 2004, respectively. Her research interests include the mechanical behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structural elements, such as the bond behavior between the reinforcement bar and concrete and the shear strength of RC elements (corbels, slender and deep beams, and beam–column joints). In the field of advanced seismic protection of new and existing buildings, she collaborated to develop a new type of seismic isolator, made of elastomer with reinforcements made of carbon fibers. She is currently devoting herself to studies on rapid and minimally invasive interventions for improving the seismic behavior of existing buildings and the in-plane behavior of orthotropic floors. She is the author of 42 scientific publications.
