4th JSCE Concrete Committee Webinar

Frontiers ofConcrete Technology
The Concrete Committee of the Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE) holds a webinar on
the frontiers in concrete research and technology to share and discuss the cutting-edge
technologies of concrete materials and structures. We invite two leading researchers fromthe advanced field in concrete engineering. After their presentations (30min.x2), we discuss
the field's current status and future direction (50min.).

Prof. Takafumi Sugiyama
2006-present Professor, Hokkaido University, Japan
1997-2006 Associate Professor, Gunma University, Japan
1994-1997 Assistant Professor, Gunma University, JapanProf. Sugiyama is a Professor at Advanced Social System Group, Division of Civil Engineering, Faculty ofEngineering, Hokkaido University. He obtained Ph.D from the University of New Brunswick in 1994. His
research interests are in supplementary cementitious materials, durability of structural concrete, andquality assessment of cement-based materials. Especially, he is focusing on development and applicationof high-quality X-ray technique for cement science and concrete technology. He is a currently director ofJapan Concrete Institute (JCI), and a past Technical Board Chairman in the Asian Concrete Federation(ACF). He has been presented with many awards such as the Japan Concrete Institute Award (Best PaperAward) in 2006 and 2014.
