Fernando Pacheco Torgal is a Principal Investigator at C-TAC, University of Minho. He holds the title of Counsellor (Top 0.5%) from the Portuguese Engineers Association and has been consistently recognized as a Scopus Highly Cited Scientist in the global rankings by Stanford University. With over 300 publications to his name, he has carried out in-depth peer reviews of more than one thousand scientific papers and assessed nearly one hundred research grant proposals across 15 countries. He serves on the editorial boards of nine international journals and has been involved in editorial decisions for several hundred manuscripts. In addition, he has edited 33 international books, many of which are available in the libraries of prestigious institutions such as Harvard, MIT, and Stanford. Robert Melchers is a Full Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Newcastle in Australia. He was the founding editor of the Australian Journal of Structural Engineering. Professor Melchers' research contributes to creating a better understanding of the corrosion of steel in marine environments. Professor Melchers' research into structural reliability and corrosion modelling of steel and concrete structures has won him many international awards and invitations to contribute to international research projects. In 2013 he was awarded the Engineers Australia John Connell Medal, presented annually to a structural engineer who has made a significant national and international contribution to the profession. Xianming Shi is a professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Washington State University, USA, He is the Founding Director of new USDOT National University Transportation Center, National Center for Transportation Infrastructure Durability & Life-Extension (TriDurLE). He also serves as Editor-in-Chief for the Springer Nature Journal, Journal of Infrastructure Preservation & Resilience, and an Associate Editor for the Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation. His research contributions include more than 150 scholarly journal articles, several books, an international patent, and numerous other publications, with more than 7,000 citations by peers. His research has led to better understanding of how both nanoscience and nano-engineering can benefit infrastructure durability and enable sustainability. Nele De Belie is a Professor in the Durability of Cement Bound Materials at Ghent University in Belgium. Since 2020 she has been Director of the Magnel-Vandepitte Laboratory for Structural Engineering and Building Materials. She is furthermore head of the “Concrete and Environment” research group which consists of about 20 postdoctoral and Ph.D. researchers. Her research interests include sustainable concrete with supplementary cementitious materials; degradation by acids and salts;concrete/stone-microorganism interactions (biodeterioration, bioconsolidation); smart concrete with self-healing or self-cleaning properties; and the circular economy and life cycle assessment. She has supervised more than 50 (inter)national projects in these areas. She is currently vice chair of COST CA15202 SARCOS and coordinator of the European Marie Curie ITN SMARTINCS. She is chair of the Technical Activities Committee of RILEM and of TC 281-CCC on Carbonation of concrete with supplementary cementitious materials. Kim Van Tittelboom has been a professor in the field of Sustainable Structures at Ghent University, Belgium since 2016. In her research she focusses on sustainable structural engineering through self-healing of cracks in concrete, prevention of reinforcement corrosion and 3D printing of cementitious materials. Her research group consists of about 10 postdoctoral and Ph.D. researchers. She has supervised almost 10 (inter)national projects in these areas. She is currently MC substitute of COST CA15202 SARCOS and both recruitment coordinator and trustee of the European Marie Curie ITN SMARTINCS. Kim Van Tittelboom is (co-)author of 57 A1 journal publications, more than 70 articles published in proceedings of international conferences, 7 book chapters and she is co-editor of 4 books. Andres Saez Perez has been a Full Professor in the Department of Continuum Mechanics and Structural Analysis at the University of Seville (Spain) since 2007. He received his B. Eng. degree from the School of Engineering at the University of Seville in 1992, his M Sc degree from the Civil Engineering Department at Northwestern University (USA) in 1994, and his Ph. D. degree from the University of Seville in 1997.

"It is a must-have for all engineers and researchers dealing with design and maintenance of concrete structure like roads, bridges, tunnels, dams and coastal defence works." --Professor Erik Schlangen, TU Delft, The Netherlands
