About me

My name is Simon Petrovčič and I hold a university bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, structural division.

My fields of interest are earthquake engineering, computational mechanics, construction  IT, numerical mathematics and mathematical programming.

My bachelor's thesis focuses on load assessment and design of thin-walled cylindrical silo structures. The work serves as a guidebook to silo designers, as it offers a full overview of the silo loading and design process in accordance with EN Eurocodes. A computer program for determining loads on silo walls due to the stored particulate solid material is also included in the work.

In cooperation with prof. dr. Werner Guggenberger from Graz University of Technology I am currently working on a silo load assessment handbook, which continues the work from my thesis.

I am experienced in using the following computer programs and programming environments:

MS Office, AutoCad, SAP2000, ETABS, SCIA ESA, Mathematica, Matlab, Visual Basic .NET and Java.

I am also experienced in web-page design. You can view my latest site at www.planetvida.net.
