Mario de Miranda (Milan, 1954) is an internationally renowned Italian civil engineer and bridge designer.
He has carried out design and consultancy for structures, girder, arch, cable-stayed and suspension bridges, including very important ones, carrying out works in various countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Career
Born in Milan in 1954 to Fabrizio and Maria Chiara Piciocchi, he graduated in Civil Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano in 1979, obtaining the qualification to practice in 1980.
Since 1979 he has been working at Studio De Miranda Associati[1] in Milan, of which he is one of the Partners, carrying out design and consultancy activities in the field of structures and bridges both in normal and prestressed concrete, in steel and in composite steel-concrete structures. As well as special structures for the construction of bridges.
Since 1996 he has been registered in the Register of Testers of the Lombardy Region in the Special Structures sector.
In 1997 he received the European Convention for Structural Steelwork[2] award for the structures of the elevated heliport of Lingotto in Turin.[3]
From 2006 to 2022 he was Professor with a position of excellence in the Master's Degree in Architecture-Construction at the IUAV of Venice[4].
He was the main consultant of Gec Alsthom Sdem[5] for the construction and assembly of the deck of the bridge over the StoreBaelt in Denmark, which consists of two viaducts with spans of 194 m and a suspension bridge with a free span of 1624 m, which at the time of its construction represented the largest span built up to that time.[6]
He is a member of national and international structural engineering associations and was President of the CTA – Collegio dei Tecnici dell’Acciaio[7] in the two-year period 2016-2018.[8]
He is a consultant to the Higher Council of Public Works[9] and a member of the Working Group for the drafting of the Guidelines on the safety of existing bridges. [10]
He is President of the Technical Committee of PIARC Italia – World Road Association on Bridges[11] .
He is the author of the projects and responsible for the construction of several cable-stayed bridges recently completed both in Italy and abroad.
He is the author of over seventy publications and technical papers in the field of structural engineering, mostly on the design and construction of bridges actually built, as well as patents for construction methods.
In 2021 he received the Honorary Member Medal of the AICAP Association[12] on the occasion of the ICD2020 (14-16 April 2021).[13]
