2nd 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, we discuss the field's
current status and future direction.

17:05-17:35 Presentation by Dr. Ippei Maruyama17:35-18:00 Panel Discussion coordinated by Dr. Kenichiro Nakarai

Dr. Ippei Maruyama
2019-present Professor, The University of Tokyo, Japan
2016-present Professor, Nagoya University, Japan
2005-2016
Associate Professor, Nagoya University, Japan
Dr. Ippei Maruyama is a Professor of Graduate School of Environmental Studies at Nagoya
University and a Professor of Graduate School of Engineering at the University of Tokyo(cross-appointment), Japan. He is a materials scientist and concrete engineer whose main
research interests concern advancing understanding of the relationships between
microstructure, chemistry and properties of cementitious materials and performance ofconcrete structures.
He is currently a lead researcher of several national projects, namely, 1) Soundness evaluation of concrete structures
exposing to neutron and gamma-ray irradiation, 2) Enhancement of soundness evaluation procedures of concrete
structures in NPP using data of harvested materials from decommissioning plants, 3) Evaluation of concrete
contamination of radio-active materials in Fukushima-daiichi plants, and 4) Impacts of drying on cement-based materials
from atomic scale to structural scale. He is an editor in chief of the Journal of Advanced Concrete Technology publishedfrom Japan Concrete Institute.

Dr. Miguel Ferreira
2011-present
1998-2011

Senior Scientist, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd., Finland
Assistant Professor, University of Minho, Portugal

Dr. Miguel Ferreira mainly studies on providing innovative solutions developed under a R&D
environment to address concrete issues aiming at the lowering the carbon footprint ofconcrete and contributing to a more sustainable construction practice. His research interests
cover concrete deterioration mechanisms and their synergetic effects, service life engineering
including design, in situ assessment, life-cycle analysis, and ageing management systems forconcrete infrastructure.
Recent interests include nuclear power plant ageing management of concrete structures, and non-destructive evaluationof reinforced concrete. He is the Coordinator of the European Commission funded research project - ACES (Towards
improved assessment of safety performance for long-term operation of nuclear civil engineering structures, 20202024) and The Finnish Research Programme on Nuclear Power Plant Safety SAFIR 2022 research project CONAGE(Critical studies in support of the ageing management of NPP concrete infrastructure, 2018-2022).
