“ Seismic Charactererization of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC)”

Today, my PhD student, Amin Jamali, has defended his PhD which is titled “ Seismic Charactererization of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC)”. This hard working and advanced state of the art thesis was described as one of the best at NJIT history. The one and quarter year experimental work that took place at High Performance Concrete laboratory at NJIT was funded by CIM program. Amin wrote in his acknowledgement the following:


“ It is an opportunity to show my appreciation to the Concrete Industry Management program at NJIT for their financial support to this study. “

“I am also very grateful to Jamie M. Gentoso and David White from Sika”. Sika donated the GFRP raps for Amin’s 44 concrete columns

“I am also very grateful to Ricardo Arocha, Roby Roberts, Gilbert Morales, Michael McKendrick, Terry Moony and Bill Hall from Weldon Mistrials”. Weldon Materials donated space, aggregate, cement, and RAC crushing for Amin’s RAC.

“I thank Mr. Allyn Luke for his generous Laboratory support”

Congratulations Dr. Jamali!!! You need a deserving break.
