He is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Building Engineering (Elsevier). He is co-coordinator of the CIB W80 Working Group, on Service Life Prediction. He is the coordinator of the CIB W86 Working Group, on Building Pathology. He is also member of the following scientific international commissions: TC RAC (RILEM); W115 (CIB); WC7 (IABSE).
His main research areas are Sustainable construction (green concrete and mortars), Building and bridge management systems, Service life prediction and life cycle assessment. He has authored 6 books and over 400 papers in scientific peer-reviewed journals.
Arturo Schultz is Professor of Structural Engineering and Department Chair of College of Engineering at The University of Texas at San Antonio, USA.
He has over 30 years of experience as a structural engineering researcher and educator and holds a B.S. degree in civil engineering from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, as well as M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in civil engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He teaches and conducts research in structural engineering with a focus on masonry, concrete, and steel structures, and he has authored or co-authored more than 200 publications based on his research.
He is an active member of the American Concrete Institute (ACI), the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI), The Masonry Society (TMS), the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) and the American Association for Wind Engineering (AAWE).
He is Fellow of The Masonry Society and has received numerous awards including the John B. Scalzi Award (TMS), the C.T. Grimm Award (Canada Masonry Design Centre), the Collingwood Prize (ASCE), the Charles C. Zollman Award (PCI), the Martin P. Korn Award (PCI), and the George B. Nasser Award (PCI).
Marco Corradi is an Associate Professor of Structural Engineering at Northumbria University, within the Department of Mechanical and Construction Engineering. He is the vice-chair of the Northern Counties Committee of IStructE, and he is a chartered engineer. His specialism is Structural Resilience Engineering with particular emphasis on the assessment, strengthening, preservation and resilience of existing buildings, transport infrastructure and cultural heritage. His current research focuses on resilience of structures and infrastructure to natural hazards. He has 20 years’ experience in subjects such as structural analysis, inspection techniques, structural monitoring, seismic evaluation, and strengthening techniques applied to different construction materials and typologies. He has extensive experience on both experimental and advanced analysis techniques applied to masonry and timber structures. A significant part of his research effort has been devoted to the development of criteria and tools for the conservation and restoration of monuments and historical structures. He has produced Guidelines for the Italian Research Council on assessment and strengthening of heritage timber structures reinforced with composite materials. He is editor of the Journal of Construction and Building Materials and sits in the editorial board of six peer-reviewed scientific journals, edited by Elsevier, ASCE and MDPI. He participates in technical committees from the American Masonry Society and RILEM. He is a member of the Masonry Society (UK), Centro Studi Mastrodicasa for Conservation of Heritage Constructions. |
