Dr. Antoine E. Naaman is Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA. Born in Lebanon, he obtained his Engineering Diploma from Ecole Centrale in Paris, France, in 1964, a specialty degree in reinforced and prestressed concrete from the CHEC in Paris, in 1965, and then his MS (1970) and Ph.D. (1972) degrees in Civil Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA. Following four years of structural engineering practice, from 1965 to 1969, he devoted his career to teaching and research since 1969.  His research interests include prestressed concrete, high performance fiber reinforced cement composites, ferrocement and laminated cementitious composites, fiber reinforced polymeric reinforcements, and the integration-tailoring of advanced construction materials to improve structural performance. 

 

Dr. Naaman's research studies have led to more than 300 publications in technical journals and symposia proceedings worldwide.  He is the author of two textbooks, three chapters in handbooks, and editor or co-editor of twelve books. The list includes: Prestressed Concrete Analysis and Design: Fundamentals (1982, 2004), Ferrocement and Laminated Cementitious Composites (2000), High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites (five proceedings, 1992, 1996, 1999,  2003, and 2007, co-edited with H.W. Reinhardt), External Prestressing in Bridges (1990, co-edited with J. Breen), and  Ferrocement-6: Lambot Symposium (1998) .  Professor Naaman has received several professional awards, including the ASCE T.Y. Lin Award twice (1980, 1993), the PCI Martin P. Korn Award twice (1979, 1986), the UM Research Excellence Award (1987), Germany's Alexander von Humboldt Award (1989 and re-invitation 2004), the Hwa Ying Foundation for Culture and Education award ( P.R. China, 2000), the URB Scholar Award of the American University of Beirut (2004), and the Japan Concrete Institute best paper award (2004).  He is a Fellow of the American Concrete Institute, Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Fellow of the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute, Member of the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering, and Fellow and founding member of the International Ferrocement Society, of which he was president from 1998 to 2001.

 

Prior to joining the University of Michigan in 1983, Professor Naaman was a faculty member at the University of Illinois in Chicago (1973-1983). He has lectured at universities and symposia venues worldwide, including teaching short courses in Mexico, Colombia, Thailand, Singapore, China, Brazil and Lebanon. During sabbatical leaves from the University of Michigan, he was visiting Professor at Technische Hochschule in Darmstadt, Germany, Technische in Stuttgart, Germany, the INSA (Institut National des Sciences ) in Lyon, France, the Asian Institute of Technology in Bangkok, Thailand, the National University of Singapore, Singapore, Southeast University in Nanjing, China, and the American University of Beirut, Lebanon.
