He was an intern at the reinforced concrete calculation office of Emílio Baumgart, where he acquired eclectic knowledge for the calculation of varied structures such as of the building of the Faculty of Architecture of UFRJ, of the Ponte Nova Estrada over the Doce river, of the oceanic interceptor Glória-Botafogo, in Rio de Janeiro etc.
He was a researcher at the National Institute of Technology, INT, for 33 years and one of his most important was the test that became an international reference in determining the tensile strength of concrete of the winds.

Among honors received the Almirante Álvaro Alberto Award for Science and Technology / Engineering Sciences Fernando Luiz Lobo Barbosa Carneiro (1989). He was admitted as a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (1999), which until then was not open to applied sciences such as engineering. He died in Rio de Janeiro, as a result of a stroke. and was married to journalist Zenaide Carneiro for 51 years.
