7th 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. Minoru Kunieda
2013-present Professor, Gifu University, Japan
2004-2013 Associate Professor, Nagoya University, Japan
1998-2004 Assistant Professor, Gifu University, Japan
Prof. Kunieda is a Professor at Department of Civil Engineering, GIfu University. He received his Doctor ofEngineering from Gifu University in 1999. His research interests are in high performance fiber reinforcedconcrete, repair and retrofitting for concrete structures, 3D concrete printing etc. Especially, he is focusing on
failure behavior of printed members by 3D printer at present.
He was a member of JCI research committee on 3D concrete printing. He is also a secretary of JSCE committee
on “Guideline of design, construction for formwork by means of 3D concrete printing”. He is a vice chair ofJSCE committee on “Guideline of design, construction for very high strength fiber reinforced concrete”.
