Bio

Dr. John J. Myers, P.E., Professor of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering, joined Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) under the University’s Infrastructure Mission Enhancement Program in March 1999.  Dr. Myers has been actively involved in high performance materials from a research standpoint for the past twenty-eight years.  In particular, his focus has concentrated on the development of advanced materials for application in structural engineering primarily focusing on advanced composites materials and sustainable advanced concretes.  These have included research efforts on fiber reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM), fiber reinforced polymer (FRP), steel reinforced polymer (SRP) and steel reinforced grout (SRG) technologies for repair and new construction in civil infrastructure.  His efforts in the development of environmentally sensitive advanced concrete construction materials have focused on the development and application of high-strength/high performance concrete (HS/HPC), high strength self-consolidated concrete (HS-SCC), high volume fly ash self-consolidating concrete (HVFA-SCC) behavior and durability performance.  His efforts have contributed to the code & standardization of these materials and led to the deployment of these systems into field application with in-situ studies into structural health monitoring (SHM), non-destructive evaluation (NDE) and load testing of these technologies for bridges.  Dr. Myers has published more than 300 technical journal and conference publications along with 100 technical research reports.  Professionally, he is very active in ACI, ASCE, ASEE, IAAM, IIFC, PCI, TMS, and TRB and serves as an active committee member in numerous technical and educational committees within these organizations.  He is a registered Professional Engineer (P.E.) in and has over 11 years of professional consulting experience. He is a Fellow of ACI, ASCE, IAAM, IIFC, TMS and VEST.
