PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Dr. Shahrooz has received numerous research grants and contracts to examine seismic performance of

innovative hybrid structural systems; to study load-carrying capacity and resistance mechanisms of

existing, deteriorated bridges; to revise bridge codes to allow the use of high-strength materials and to

improve design of concrete bridges; and to use advanced composite materials for construction of new

bridges and repair and retrofit of existing bridges. Dr. Shahrooz is a Fellow of the American Concrete

Institute (ACI), Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and Fellow of the Structural

Engineering Institute of ASCE. He is an active member of several ACI and ASCE technical committees, past

chairman of ASCE Composite Construction committee, and past chairman of ACI Composite and Hybrid

Structures committee.
