DESCRIPTION:Prof. Mina Dawood\, Associate Professor\, Department of Civi
 l and Environmental Engineering\, University of Houston\nAbstract:\nBonded
  repairs of metallic structures\, particularly using composite materials\,
  have gained wide research attention in the past decade. However\, the deb
 onding strength of bonded joints exhibits a relatively high uncertainty co
 mpared to other strength-based limit states in structural applications. Th
 is uncertainty is compounded by various factors including the difference b
 etween the tensile and shear responses of typical polymeric adhesives\, th
 e effect of surface preparation on failure modes and capacities\, and the 
 interaction between interface strength and interface toughness. This prese
 ntation summarizes the ongoing experimental and analytical research effort
 s at the University of Houston to help quantify the uncertainty in the str
 ength of bonded joints in metallic structures with an emphasis on the bond
  between steel and carbon fiber reinforced polymers.\n \nBio:\nMina Dawoo
 d is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental E
 ngineering at the University of Houston where he has been a full-time facu
 lty member since 2009. His research interests lie broadly in the field of 
 implementation of new materials in civil infrastructure applications for b
 oth new construction and repair and rehabilitation of existing structures.
  Dr. Dawood is an Associate Editor of the ASCE Journal of Composites for C
 onstruction and a member of the Council of the International Institute of 
 FRP in Construction (IIFC). He has co-authored nearly 50 archival journal 
 publications and a comparable number of conference papers. He has been a P
 I or Co-PI on research projects funded by the National Science Foundation\
 , US Department of Education\, National Cooperative Highway Research Progr
