Shamsoon F.

Dr. Shamsoon Fareed, is a Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering, NED University of Engineering and Technology in Karachi, Pakistan. He has an over 15 years of teaching and research experience. He did his PhD in Civil Engineering from Heriot-Watt University, United Kingdom. During his PhD he carried out both experimental (via drop weight testing) and numerical (using non-linear finite element package ABAQUS) investigations on the behaviour of the subsea pipes under high mass low velocity impact loading. Dr. Shamsoon Fareed has published over fifty (50) research articles in international refereed journals and conferences. He has secured funding worth USD 447,508 in the form of research projects both nationally in Pakistan and internationally. Some of his research projects include the development of Ultra High Strength Concrete (UHSC), Impact behaviour of RC UHSC structural elements, development of structural health monitoring system for infra-structure, use of recycled aggregates concrete in structural elements, retrofitting and strengthening of structural elements using fiber reinforced polymers and development of composites for structural strengthening using locally available textile materials. Furthermore, his research interest also includes the behaviour of structures under accidental loading (impact, blast), materials under high rate loadings, Shear behaviour of reinforced concrete beams, strengthening of structural elements using CFRP, use of recycled aggregates in the structural elements.
