Dr Andreas Lampropoulos, Chair of IABSE Task Group 1.1 ‘Improving Seismic Resilience of Reinforced Concrete Structures’ and Task Group 5.5 ‘Conservation and Seismic Strengthening/Retrofitting of Existing Unreinforced Masonry Structures’ will be the guest speaker in the Virtual Conference on Concrete and Steel Technology, Engineering and Design (CASTED 2020) organized by the Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippines (ASEP) and supported by the Philippine Group of IABSE to be held via Zoom on October 22-24, 2020.
Dr. Lampropoulos will present a virtual lecture on "Repair & Strengthening of Existing Structures using Novel Construction Materials" on October 22, 2020 (10:00 - 10:30 AM, Philippine Time). He will will also make a brief introduction on the work of the IABSE Task Groups TG1.1 and TG5.5. Dr. Rodolfo Mendoza, Jr., the chair of CASTED 2020 Technical Committee is a member of the Task Group 1.1 ‘Improving Seismic Resilience of Reinforced Concrete Structures.'
Dr. Lampropoulos is a Principal Lecturer in Civil
Engineering at the University of Brighton. His main research agenda spans the
areas of novel construction materials and seismic strengthening/ retrofitting
of existing structures. He is the chair of the Outstanding Paper Award Committee (OPAC) of the IABSE’s Structural
Engineering International (SEI) journal. He is also a member of the
International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib) Task Group 8.1
‘Model Technical Specification for Repairs and Interventions’ and Task Group
