New Materials in Civil Engineering

Dr. Samui is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at NIT Patna, India. He received his PhD in Geotechnical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore, India, in 2008. His research interests include geohazard, earthquake engineering, concrete technology, pile foundation and slope stability, and application of AI for solving different problems in civil engineering. Dr. Samui is a repeat Elsevier editor but also a prolific contributor to journal papers, book chapters, and peer-reviewed conference proceedings. Dookie Kim is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Kongju National University ,1223-24 Cheonan-daero, 31080, Republic of Korea. Professor Kim has a broad experience in structural dynamics. He published journal articles, conference papers, book chapters and 2 books. Dr. Nagesh R. Iyer is a Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering and is currently Dean of (Infrastructure, Planning and Support) and Visiting Professor, at the Indian Institute of Technology Dharwad. He was formerly Director of CSIR-Structural Engineering Research Centre and Coordinating Director of CSIR Madras Complex. Concurrently he held the posts of Acting Director and Distinguished Emeritus Professor at the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR). He has over 44 years of experience in the computer-aided analysis and design of complex and large structures which include infrastructural facilities. Prof. Sandeep Chaudhary is currently working as Professor in the Discipline of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Indore, India. Before joining IIT Indore, he served as a faculty member in different capacities at MNIT Jaipur, India, for more than twenty years. His research group carries out both analytical and experimental studies, which range from microstructure studies to full-scale. He has Chaired “Technical Committee 1: Design” of the Asian Concrete Federation for three years and is presently heading “Standing Committee 1 (SC1): Design” of the Asian Concrete Federation.
