Eco-efficient Repair and Rehabilitation of Concrete Infrastructures

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. 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.
