Arndt Goldack, TUB
Arndt Goldack studied civil and structural engineering
at the University of Stuttgart. From 1996 to 2003
he was research assistant with Prof. Jörg Schlaich and
Prof. Werner Sobek at the Institute for Structural Design
at the University of Stuttgart. In 2004 he received a
doctor’s degree with the awarded thesis on the structural
behavior and bracing of High Rise Tubes for Solar
Updraft Towers.
From 2003 to 2011 he was structural engineer with
schlaich bergermann and partner in Stuttgart and Berlin,
where he was in charge of several projects such as an integral
bridge for high speed trains, a cable stayed bridge
in New Dehli and dynamics of pedestrian bridges. Since
July 2011 he is researcher at the Chair of Conceptual
and Structural Design, TU Berlin, working on pedestrian
induced vibration, experimental modal analysis and
structural control as well as lightweight structures and
lightweight concrete.
Pedelta Barcelona Engineering Team
Pedelta is an international independent engineering
firm specialised in the design and conservation of
bridges, civil engineering structures and buildings.
The company approaches its projects with a technical,
human and creative point of view. Pedelta offices are
located in Barcelona, Bogota, Miami, Pittsburgh, Toronto
and Panama.
Juan A. Sobrino founded Pedelta in 1994. A graduate
of Civil Engineering from the Polytechnic University
of Catalonia (UPC) Barcelona, Spain, Juan Sobrino
completed his PhD from the same institute in 1994.
His professional activity has been devoted to the design
of bridges and civil engineering structures as well as
to the assessment and rehabilitation of existing bridges.
His experience includes considerable background with
the structural analysis and design of bridges and other
structures for heavy civil projects and the design of over
65 bridges of high-speed railway bridges and various
cable-stayed and extra-dosed bridges. Several projects
have been internationally awarded.
Lara Pellegrini studied Civil Engineering graduating
from the University of Padua in Italy in 1998, and
completed her Masters in Numerical Methods for the
Calculation and Design Engineering , from the UPC
Barcelona. Having worked for one year at the UPC and
for three years in BOMA, she joined Pedelta in 2003.
Between 2003 and 2010 her activity has been devoted to
structural design, mainly pedestrian bridges and other
structures. She has also collaborated on the design of
several hybrid stainless steel footbridges duplexes and
FRP .
Since 2010 Lara is responsible for R&D and business
developer director of Pedelta in the Spanish territory.

His personal awards include IABSE Prize and the
Award on Innovation of the Board of the Spanish Civil
Engineers.
Juan Sobrino is an adjunct professor at Carnegie-
Mellon University in Pittsburgh and a part-time associate
professor at the UPC in Barcelona.
