Mohamed T. Bassuoni, Ph.D. P.Eng., FACI

Mohamed T. Bassuoni, Ph.D., P.Eng., FACI is a Professor and Associate Head (Graduate) in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Manitoba, Canada. Beyond academia, he serves as an independent concrete consultant and is a registered professional engineer in Manitoba. Dr. Bassuoni has diverse experiences from his involvement in large-scale projects administered by the US Army Corps of Engineers and various provincial and municipal projects. With a career spanning 25 years, Dr. Bassuoni has specialized in the design and behavior of cementitious materials, emphasizing the durability of concrete infrastructure under various chemical and physical damage mechanisms. His research also includes nanotechnology applications in construction materials and predicting concrete performance using artificial intelligence modeling. Dr. Bassuoni actively disseminates knowledge to diverse organizations, contributing to the development of guidelines and codes for concrete. He is dedicated to training students and industry practitioners, ensuring the practical application of innovative insights. On both national and international fronts, Dr. Bassuoni is a vital member/chair of multiple concrete code committees. Recognized as an elected Fellow of the American Concrete Institute (ACI), he has significantly advanced the fields of sustainable building materials and concrete infrastructure durability. Dr. Bassuoni currently serves as the Chair of the Engineering Mechanics and Materials Division, CSCE, Section Editor (Concrete Properties & Modeling) for the ASCE Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, and Editor-in-Chief of ICE Construction Materials Journal.
