In December, Dr. John J. Myers, professor of civil, architectural and environmental engineering and director of the Missouri Center for Transportation Innovation, delivered an invited lecture at the Ninth Asia-Pacific Conference on FRP (fibre-reinforced polymers) in Structures held in Adelaid, Australia. His lecture was titled “Database Review and Analysis of Reduced Bonded Embedment Lengths of BFRP Bars In Concrete.” He also presented a second paper with civil engineering master’s student Lauren Coulter titled “Interface Shear Transfer of Basalt Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Bars in RC using the Push-off Test.”
As part of his conference duties, Myers also chaired a session on FRP-Space (Extraterrestrial) Application Usage and led an international panel discussion on the Future of Fiber-reinforced Composites (FRP) in Construction.
