About
Martin Tigasson is a civil engineer whose research focuses on the mechanical characterization and non-destructive evaluation of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC). His most significant contribution lies in developing a novel method for measuring fiber orientation in SFRC, a critical factor governing material performance. In his highly cited 2013 paper, Tigasson pioneered a combined approach using DC-conductivity testing and photometry, enabling more reliable and efficient quality control in precast concrete elements. This work, which has garnered 26 citations, directly addresses the industry's need for practical, on-site assessment tools to ensure structural integrity. By linking electrical conductivity to fiber alignment, his research bridges material science and structural engineering, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional X-ray or destructive testing. Tigasson’s methodology has been recognized as a foundational step toward standardizing fiber orientation measurement, with implications for optimizing the design of high-performance, crack-resistant concrete structures. His work continues to influence researchers and practitioners seeking to enhance the durability and predictability of fiber-reinforced composites in construction.
