Professor Chris Burgoyne
Chris Burgoyne is Reader in Concrete Structures at the University of Cambridge, where he has been working since 1989. He has been involved with the use of high strength fibres for applications in Structural Engineering since 1982, when he was working at Imperial College in London. His initial studies concentrated on the use of aramid ropes as prestressing tendons for concrete structures, and stay cables for bridges. Later work has studied the use of aramid fibre spirals for containment of compression zones, and the application of fracture mechanics to the breakdown of bond with CFRP plates. He has presented keynote and invited lectures at many international conferences. |

Professor Jin-Guang Teng
Dr. Jin-Guang Teng is Chair Professor of Structural Engineering, Dean of the Faculty of Construction and Land Use, and Associate Vice President of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His research interests include the application of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in construction, steel structures, shell structures, and structural mechanics. He is the author/co-author of over 320 papers and book chapters, including some 120 SCI journal papers and over 30 other refereed journal papers . In addition, he is the lead author of the book “FRP-Strengthened RC Structures” published by John Wiley and Sons in 2002 . From 2003 to 2006, Professor Teng served as the founding President of the International Institute for FRP in Construction (IIFC) , the leading international organisation dedicated to the advancement of the understanding and the application of FRP composites in the civil infrastructure. He is also the Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Advances in Structural Engineering and a member of the editorial boards of 5 other international journals. |
