Prof. Zhishen WU is a professor at Southeast University in China and Ibaraki University in Japan. His research interests include FRP composite technologies, advanced basalt fibers, sensor technologies, structural health/risk/disaster monitoring, control and management, and smart & sustainable infrastructure. He has published 8 books and over 600 papers in refereed journals and international conference proceedings including over 60 keynote or invited papers. He also holds over 80 authorized patents. He has received many awards such as the JSCE Research Award in 1990, the JSCM Technology Award in 2007, and 2009 SHM Person of the Year Award, National Prize for Progress in Science and Technology of China in 2012, the International Institute for FRP in Construction (IIFC) medal in 2016, and National Prize for Technology Innovation of China in 2017. He served as the Vice President of IIFC from 2006 to 2012, and he has been the committee chairman or board member of numerous national and international scientific societies such as the chairman of China chemical fibers association committee on basalt fibers, the president of International Society for Structural Health Monitoring of Intelligent Infrastructures (ISHMII). Moreover, he serves as an editor, associate editor, editorial board member for more than ten international journals, including the founding Editor-in-Chief of the International of Sustainable Materials and Structural Systems. He is a member of the Engineering Academy of Japan and a fellow of ASCE, JSCE, ISHMII, and IIFC. 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. Assoc. Prof. Mohamed F.M. FAHMY obtained his Ph.D. degree from Ibaraki University, Japan, in 2010. From 2010 to 2016，he was an Assistant Professor in Assiut University, Egypt; From 2016 till now，he is an associate professor in Assiut University, Egypt. He has published over 50 International papers including over 25 SCI indexed. Dr FAHMY is the contributor of 2 book chapters. His research interest includes sustainable materials, damage-control, and modelling of existing and modern FRP-RC structures. And he is a referee for more than 10 international journals. After a long period of research, the author team have produced experimental, numerical and analytical research databases, and collected and evaluated the tremendous efforts of researchers around the world to strengthen existing structures with modern composite materials. It is very important to summarize these efforts in a product that fairly demonstrates the experimental results. It clearly and uniformly reveals the analytical works, clarifies the weaknesses that need further work, and extracts design guidelines to enable design engineers to widely apply these new materials and strengthening techniques.
