Mechanism of Fibre-reinforced Polymer Confinement in Concrete Structures

Dr Cheng Jiang joined Western Sydney University in 2021 and is currently an ARC DECRA Fellow in the Centre for Infrastructure Engineering. Dr Jiang has a research background in the areas of construction materials, FRP composite structures and structural fire engineering. Dr Jiang’s research interests include concrete structures, structural rehabilitation, composite materials and structures, and FRP structures Dr Jiafei Jiang is the Senior Principal Research Fellow at the College of Civil Engineering at Tongji University, China. She received her PhD degree from the City University of Hong Kong, China, in the year 2012. Her research interests are the mechanical behaviour and design method of FRP reinforced concrete (RC) structures, especially the constitutive behaviour and model of FRP confined concrete Yu-Fei Wu is a distinguished professor of Civil/Structural Engineering in the College of Civil and Transportation Engineering at Shenzhen University in China and the School of Engineering at RMIT University in Australia. He received his PhD from the University of Adelaide, Australia. He has over 10 years of industrial experience in structural engineering, as a professional engineer of New Zealand and Australia (FIEAust, CPEng, NER, MIPENZ). His research interests lie in the broad field of structural engineering, including concrete structures, structural design, composite structures, FRP structures, and structural rehabilitation.
