3rd 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. John E Bolander
2006-present Professor, University of California, Davis, United States
1994-2006 Assistant/Associate Professor, University of California, Davis, United States
1990-1994 Lecturer, Kyushu University, JapanProf. John E. Bolander is a professor within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at theUniversity of California, Davis. He received his Ph.D. degree in civil engineering from the University ofMichigan, Ann Arbor, in 1989. He belonged to the faculty of engineering at Kyushu University, Japan, forfive years prior to arriving at UC Davis in 1994. He received the Outstanding Faculty Teaching Award fromthe College of Engineering in 2006. He was a Fulbright Specialist on assignment in the Philippines in2011. Prof. Bolander served as the chief editor of the international journal Cement and Concrete
Composites (CCC) for the period of 2006-2012. He is a Fellow of the International Association forFracture Mechanics of Concrete and Concrete Structures. His research and teaching interests involve theeffective use of high-performance materials within the civil infrastructure. Over the past two decades, hehas been a pioneering developer of discrete methods for the modeling concrete materials, including fiber
reinforced cement composites.

Prof. Hikaru Nakamura
2004-present Professor, Nagoya University, Japan
2002-2004 Associate Professor, Nagoya University, Japan
1995-2002 Associate Professor, Yamanashi University, Japan
1992-1995 Lecturer, Yamanashi University, Japan
Prof. Nakamura is a Professor at Department of Civil Engineering, Nagoya University. He obtained his
Doctor of Engineering from Nagoya University in 1992. His research interests are in numerical analysis,
seismic design, maintenance, non-destructive test for concrete structures. Especially, he is focusing about
shear failure, crack propagation, rebar corrosion and bond mechanism using a discrete model at present.
He is currently director of Japan Concrete Institute (JCI), Japan Prestressed Concrete Institute (JPCI) and
Editorial Board Member of Journals of Cement and Concrete Composites (CCC) and Advanced Concrete
Technology (ACT).
