As such, it will be required reading for anyone wishing to increase their knowledge in this area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean-Michel Torrenti\u003c\/b\u003e is the R \u0026amp; D director of the Materials and Structures Department of IFSTTAR and a Professor at Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussees. His research concerns the mechanics of concrete and its coupling with durability aspects, and has been applied to modeling the behavior of structures such as bridges, nuclear power plants and nuclear waste storage. He is the co-author of several books concerning concrete and concrete structures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGilles Pijaudier-Cabot\u003c\/b\u003e graduated from Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan - France - in 1985 and obtained a Ph.D. from Northwestern University.
