Before joining Oregon State as the Head of the School of Civil and Construction Engineering he was a faculty member at Purdue University for over 16 years where he held the position of the Jack and Kay Hockema Professor of Civil Engineering and Director of the Pankow Materials Laboratory. Weiss has taught courses in civil engineering materials, concrete materials, service life, repair and non-destructive testing. His primary research interests are in the area of early age shrinkage cracking and mitigation as well as service life sensing and prediction. He is also a primary author of the durability tests for the Performance Engineered Mixtures/Performance Related Specifications programs underway at FHWA. He is currently the Editor-in-Chief of the American Concrete Institute’s Journal of Materials and is the former editor in chief of the ASTM journal of Advances in Civil Engineering Materials and the RILEM journal Materials and Structures. Research Interests include: » » Behavior of Cement and Concrete at Early-Ages » » Early Age Shrinkage and Cracking » » Shrinkage Reducing Admixtures and Internal Curing » » Durability of Reinforced Concrete Structures » » Fracture Mechanics and Damage Localization » » Non-Destructive Testing and In Situ Sensing » » Freeze-Thaw Performance and Deicing Salt Degradation » » Service Life Modeling and Simulation » continued from page 15
