Ziad Elaghoury

Ziad obtained his Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc) from the University of Windsor before completing his Master of Engineering Science (MESc) in Structural Engineering at Western University in London, Canada. He is currently pursuing his PhD at Western, where his research focuses on Reliability-Based Assessment of Existing Reinforced Concrete Structures. He is particularly interested in the use of load testing to evaluate the strength and durability of existing structures. His work has the potential to impact this field significantly.

Prior to embarking on his PhD studies, Ziad worked as a Structural Project Engineer at LeMessurier Consultants in Boston, where he actively participated in high-profile projects that involved the design and rehabilitation of steel and reinforced concrete structures.

Ziad is a member of various American Concrete Institute (ACI) committees, including ACI CODE-562 “Evaluation, Rehabilitation, and Repair of Reinforced Concrete Structures”; ACI ITG 93-11 “Statistical Techniques for Assessment of Existing Structures”; and, ACI 435 PRC-435 “Control of Deflection in Concrete Structures”.
