1、An ACI Technical Publication A SYMPOSIUM HONORING KHALED SOUDKI SP-322 Editor: Raafat El-Hacha Towards Sustainable Infrastructure with Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites 1967-2013In Tribute to Professor Khaled Soudki Professor Khaled Soudki, PhD, PEng, FACI, passed away on September 17, 2013 after
2、a long battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife, Rana Shami, and daughter Sara and son Adnan. He was a graduate of the American University of Beirut (BEng, 1987), Cornell University (MSc, 1989) and the University of Manitoba (PhD, 1994), and held a postdoctoral position at Queens University in
3、 Kingston, Canada. Professor Soudki joined the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Waterloo as an Assistant Professor in 1996. A prolific and well-respected researcher, he quickly progressed to Associate Professor in 2001 and full Professor in 2006. He was appointe
4、d Canada Research Chair in Innovative Structural Rehabilitation in 2003 and was reappointed in 2006 for a further five-year term. He was also the founding Dean of Engineering at the American University in Dubai, UAE and a visiting scholar at the Swiss Federal Laboratory for Material Testing (Empa) i
5、n Dbendorf, Zurich, Switzerland. He was very active on many international scientific committees and was a Fellow of the American Concrete Institute. Khaled was an internationally distinguished researcher in the field of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures with emphasis on the use of advan
6、ced fibre reinforced polymers for the repair of structures. His research on the repair of corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete structures led the field and significantly advanced the application of fiber-reinforced polymers. His work in prestressing of fiber- reinforced polymers was similarly groun
7、dbreaking, including the development of an anchorage system that is now widely used. Khaled leaves behind a legacy of scientific research in Canada and around the world. His research contributions resulted in more than 300 publications, including patents, book chapters and many journal and conferenc
8、e publications. His publications have been cited more than 1000 times. He supervised 20 PhD students, 25 Masters students and 10 postdoctoral fellows; 15 former students and postdocs have gone on to careers in academia in universities around the world. On a personal note, I mourn the loss of a true
9、friend and brother. I will always remember Khaled as an outstanding researcher, talented professor, knowledgeable scholar, successful colleague, mentor, kind and humble person, and a true gentleman. His passing is a great loss to the field and to all of us as his friends. Words are not enough to exp
10、ress our sorrow for losing him. I am proud to have had the opportunity to be his co-author on the invited paper “Prestressed near-surface mounted fibre reinforced polymer reinforcement for concrete structures a review”. This paper is one of a selection of papers in the special issue of the Canadian
11、Journal of Civil Engineering to honour the 20th anniversary of the Advanced Composite Materials in Bridges and Structures (ACMBS) conference Series. His last email to me on August 29, 2013 when he was in a critical condition at the hospital: “Congrats on our joint publication”. Unfortunately, he was
12、 not with us on May 30, 2014 in Halifax at the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE) Awards Gala Dinner when this paper won the Casimir Gzowski Gold Medal for the Best Civil Engineering Paper in structural engineering. Khaled was highly respected by his students and colleagues and many wishe
13、d to express their feelings. “There are moments in our lives when we feel helpless in front of the scale of sadness that conquers our heart and mind. This is one of them. The only relief is to cry a brilliant student, a brilliant professor and colleague, and above all a very good friend. God help hi
14、s family” (Bilal Hamad). “It is indeed very sad news. Khaled, a CEE-AUB graduate, was a true friend and colleague for most of us. We will surely miss him. May his soul rest in peace” (Muhamad Harajli). “I am very sorry to lose a friend and member of my family. I knew Khaled for many years; I started
15、 as his academic advisor for his Ph.D. He was a model graduate student at University of Manitoba. I have traveled several times with Khaled and we have shared a hotel room attending several conferences and we became very close as colleagues and family. I have traveled with him to Lebanon and I was t
16、he first friend to have been introduced to his lovely wife. He was a sincere husband and proud father. He devoted his life to research and teaching and became a full professor in a short time. He has achieved everything he wished for with dignity. I was very sorry to hear about his battle with cance
17、r and shared with him many times his suffering and physical pain but he did not lose his faith with God. I know now he is in peace without suffering and I will really miss him until we meet again in the peaceful land. Mary and I send our sincere condolences and love to his wife and children and will
18、 pray to God to give them peace and understanding. I will miss him tremendously” (Sami Rizkalla). “I will always remember Khaled Soudki as an outstanding researcher, scholar, and friend. Ever since he came to Queens from Manitoba as a postdoctoral fellow, our careers have been intertwined. His subse
19、quent research on the repair with FRP of corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete structures has led the field and significantly advanced applications of FRP. Khaleds work in prestressing of FRP was similarly groundbreaking including the development of an anchorage system that is now widely used for FR
20、P prestressing. He was also a great mentor and I have also been impressed by the students he has supervised. His genial but hardworking manner has inspired many others. I will always value our friendship and his passing is a great loss to the field and to us as his friends” (Mark Green). “Khaled was
21、 one of the finest individuals Ive ever known. I thought that he was an exceptionally devoted son, husband, father, and professor, and certainly dearest of friends. I am heartbroken that he is among us no more. He leaves behind a tremendous void in our lives” (Marie-Anne Erki). “Khaled was a wonderf
22、ul man with many quality friends and colleagues. We are better for having had him in our lives” (Pat Heffernan). “I have known Khaled since he was a Ph.D. student working with Dr. Sami Rizkalla. I got to know him on a more personal basis when we co-organized a National Science Foundation workshop in
23、 Dubai in April 2005. It was a pleasure to work with him and we became very good friends. Khaled is a true gentleman and I have the utmost respect for him. I will surely miss him” (Issam harik). “Khaled will always be remembered with fondness and appreciation for the true scholar and wonderful perso
24、n that he was. A wonderful person and academic who will be missed by all of us” (Riadh El-Mahaidi). “Khaled was truly a considerate nice person in parallel to being a superb and successful scholar. It always saddened him observing some of the unhealthy competitions and behaviors that occasionally oc
