2、a long battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife, Rana Shami, and daughter Sara and son Adnan. He was a graduate of the American University of Beirut (BEng, 1987), Cornell University (MSc, 1989) and the University of Manitoba (PhD, 1994), and held a postdoctoral position at Queens University in

3、 Kingston, Canada. Professor Soudki joined the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Waterloo as an Assistant Professor in 1996. A prolific and well-respected researcher, he quickly progressed to Associate Professor in 2001 and full Professor in 2006. He was appointe

4、d Canada Research Chair in Innovative Structural Rehabilitation in 2003 and was reappointed in 2006 for a further five-year term. He was also the founding Dean of Engineering at the American University in Dubai, UAE and a visiting scholar at the Swiss Federal Laboratory for Material Testing (Empa) i

5、n Dbendorf, Zurich, Switzerland. He was very active on many international scientific committees and was a Fellow of the American Concrete Institute. Khaled was an internationally distinguished researcher in the field of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures with emphasis on the use of advan

6、ced fibre reinforced polymers for the repair of structures. His research on the repair of corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete structures led the field and significantly advanced the application of fiber-reinforced polymers. His work in prestressing of fiber- reinforced polymers was similarly groun

7、dbreaking, including the development of an anchorage system that is now widely used. Khaled leaves behind a legacy of scientific research in Canada and around the world. His research contributions resulted in more than 300 publications, including patents, book chapters and many journal and conferenc

8、e publications. His publications have been cited more than 1000 times. He supervised 20 PhD students, 25 Masters students and 10 postdoctoral fellows; 15 former students and postdocs have gone on to careers in academia in universities around the world. On a personal note, I mourn the loss of a true

9、friend and brother. I will always remember Khaled as an outstanding researcher, talented professor, knowledgeable scholar, successful colleague, mentor, kind and humble person, and a true gentleman. His passing is a great loss to the field and to all of us as his friends. Words are not enough to exp

10、ress our sorrow for losing him. I am proud to have had the opportunity to be his co-author on the invited paper “Prestressed near-surface mounted fibre reinforced polymer reinforcement for concrete structures a review”. This paper is one of a selection of papers in the special issue of the Canadian

11、Journal of Civil Engineering to honour the 20th anniversary of the Advanced Composite Materials in Bridges and Structures (ACMBS) conference Series. His last email to me on August 29, 2013 when he was in a critical condition at the hospital: “Congrats on our joint publication”. Unfortunately, he was

12、 not with us on May 30, 2014 in Halifax at the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE) Awards Gala Dinner when this paper won the Casimir Gzowski Gold Medal for the Best Civil Engineering Paper in structural engineering. Khaled was highly respected by his students and colleagues and many wishe

13、d to express their feelings. “There are moments in our lives when we feel helpless in front of the scale of sadness that conquers our heart and mind. This is one of them. The only relief is to cry a brilliant student, a brilliant professor and colleague, and above all a very good friend. God help hi

14、s family” (Bilal Hamad). “It is indeed very sad news. Khaled, a CEE-AUB graduate, was a true friend and colleague for most of us. We will surely miss him. May his soul rest in peace” (Muhamad Harajli). “I am very sorry to lose a friend and member of my family. I knew Khaled for many years; I started

15、 as his academic advisor for his Ph.D. He was a model graduate student at University of Manitoba. I have traveled several times with Khaled and we have shared a hotel room attending several conferences and we became very close as colleagues and family. I have traveled with him to Lebanon and I was t

16、he first friend to have been introduced to his lovely wife. He was a sincere husband and proud father. He devoted his life to research and teaching and became a full professor in a short time. He has achieved everything he wished for with dignity. I was very sorry to hear about his battle with cance

17、r and shared with him many times his suffering and physical pain but he did not lose his faith with God. I know now he is in peace without suffering and I will really miss him until we meet again in the peaceful land. Mary and I send our sincere condolences and love to his wife and children and will

18、 pray to God to give them peace and understanding. I will miss him tremendously” (Sami Rizkalla). “I will always remember Khaled Soudki as an outstanding researcher, scholar, and friend. Ever since he came to Queens from Manitoba as a postdoctoral fellow, our careers have been intertwined. His subse

19、quent research on the repair with FRP of corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete structures has led the field and significantly advanced applications of FRP. Khaleds work in prestressing of FRP was similarly groundbreaking including the development of an anchorage system that is now widely used for FR

20、P prestressing. He was also a great mentor and I have also been impressed by the students he has supervised. His genial but hardworking manner has inspired many others. I will always value our friendship and his passing is a great loss to the field and to us as his friends” (Mark Green). “Khaled was

21、 one of the finest individuals Ive ever known. I thought that he was an exceptionally devoted son, husband, father, and professor, and certainly dearest of friends. I am heartbroken that he is among us no more. He leaves behind a tremendous void in our lives” (Marie-Anne Erki). “Khaled was a wonderf

22、ul man with many quality friends and colleagues. We are better for having had him in our lives” (Pat Heffernan). “I have known Khaled since he was a Ph.D. student working with Dr. Sami Rizkalla. I got to know him on a more personal basis when we co-organized a National Science Foundation workshop in

23、 Dubai in April 2005. It was a pleasure to work with him and we became very good friends. Khaled is a true gentleman and I have the utmost respect for him. I will surely miss him” (Issam harik). “Khaled will always be remembered with fondness and appreciation for the true scholar and wonderful perso

24、n that he was. A wonderful person and academic who will be missed by all of us” (Riadh El-Mahaidi). “Khaled was truly a considerate nice person in parallel to being a superb and successful scholar. It always saddened him observing some of the unhealthy competitions and behaviors that occasionally oc

25、cur in academia or scientific communities. I will never forget a statement I once heard him saying: “It is ok to grow and have big ambitions, but leave others grow also” (Amir Fam). “On a personal note, I greatly miss Khal. He was hired shortly before me at UW and I took great joy in trying to conve

26、rt him to becoming a pavement engineer. Obviously, bridges were his passion. His strength of character will always be admired and he will be fondly remembered by all of us here” (Susan Tighe). “It is very difficult and hard to imagine that Prof. Soudki is no longer with us. No words can help ease th

27、e pain and loss we are feeling right now. Prof. Soudki was a great person. He will be in our every prayer and thought. May Allah shower him with mercy and provide us and his family the necessary strength and patience to withstand this great loss” (Tamer El-Maaddawy). “Khaled will be missed at all le

28、vels. He will be missed as a professor, as a supervisor, and as a friend. He was the nicest person I have ever met. When I remember the small details that I lived with Khaled as his graduate student, I feel that I wanna cry! I cannot imagine going to Waterloo without passing by his office or his hou

29、se. I will never forget that Khaled was always there whenever I asked for help or assistance. His last advice to me was that “life is short”. That was when I visited him for the last time in the hospital. He will always be remembered as one of the best persons I have ever met” (Ahmed El-Refai). “God

30、 knows how much we are sad regarding his death. Whatever we write about Khaled, we will never give him what he deserves. He was a brother and a friend, and I do not remember that he put someone down. He never made anyone upset even if he has the reason to do. We will never forget the moments when he

31、 gathered all of us in house and celebrated the holy Eid as we were his family members. At the end, everyone will die, but some of us will die with a goodwell as Khaled Soudki. May Allah bless his soul. I will never stop praying for him. We should always remember that we are as human being we have a

32、 mercy on people, never mind Allah who is greatest and the most merciful on his worshipers” (Moataz Badwi). “I had the privilege of working with Khal over the last four years as a PhD student. No student could have asked for more from a graduate supervisor; he was a mentor, a colleague and friend in

33、 one. He was always professional, yet always personable, genuine and supportive. Khal was rare in that he had high intellect and achieved much success, yet remained humble to a fault. I hold him in the highest regard, both personally and professionally, and will miss him greatly. I am proud to have

34、had the opportunity to learn from his example” (Martin Nol). “I was one of the lucky people to work closely with Professor Soudki for about 7 years as his student then his postdoc. He was a very knowledgeable talented professor. More importantly, from my first day working with Dr. Soudki, I found hi

35、m to be one of the finest people one could ever meet; a very decent caring loving compassionate and polite person. Even during his illness, he was still showing his care, support and love to all his students. He was always there for me, during the bad times and the good times. He was a vivid example

36、 of what a good heart means. His loss is irreplaceable. Today, I mourn the loss of a true friend and a brother I never had. Dr. Soudki, words are not enough to express my sorrow for losing you. You are leaving a very big space but you will always be remembered with all the good laughs, thoughtful ac

37、tions and good memories” (Noran Wahab). Khaled, will surely be missed greatly by all of us and you will always be remembered.

Printed in the United States of America Editorial production: Ryan Jay ISBN-13: 978-1-64195-015-2 First printing, June 2018Preface The use of Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite

43、 materials in new construction and repair of concrete structures has been growing rapidly in recent years. FRP provides options and benefits not available using traditional materials. The promise of FRP materials lies in their high-strength, lightweight, noncorrosive, nonconducting, and nonmagnetic

44、properties. ACI Committee 440 has published several guides providing recommendations for the use of FRP materials based on available test data, technical reports, and field applications. The aim of these document is to help practitioners implement FRP technology while providing testimony that design

45、 and construction with FRP materials systems is rapidly moving from emerging to mainstream technology. In addition to this publication, ACI Committee 440 organized four special technical sessions entitled “Towards Sustainable Infrastructure with Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites,” two sessions at

46、the ACI Fall 2014 Convention in Washington, DC, on October 26, 2014, and two sessions at the ACI Spring 2015 Convention in Kansas City, MO, on April 13, 2015. These sessions provided a worldwide state-of-the-art forum for researchers, civil/structural engineers, contractors, consultants, practitione

47、rs, and regulatory authorities to exchange recent advances in both research and practice, and to share information, experience, and knowledge in the implementation of FRP technology. The technical papers presented at the sessions and published in this volume included the most recent analytical and e

48、xperimental research work as well as selected field applications, design, and construction guidelines. The sessions were well attended and generated substantial technical discussion and exchange of new technology. Attendees were able to: a) Learn about the wide usage of FRP in new construction and r

49、epair of concrete structures b) Understand the design process available in several design guidelines that provides recommendations for the use of FRP materials based on available test data, technical reports, and field applications c) Demonstrate how to evaluate existing structures prior to strengthen/rehabilitation using FRP d) Recognize examples of the types of evaluation that can be performed on existing structures This Special Publication consists of a total of 22 papers, of which 13 papers were presented in the four special sessions sponsored by ACI Committee 440 at the ACI
