Experiment-Based Structural Mechanics

Dr. Kyung-Jae Shin is a Professor in the Department of Architectural Engineering at Kyungpook National University (KNU), Daegu, South Korea, and a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in South Korea. Prof. Shin received his PhD of Civil Engineering from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, MN, USA, and his BS and MS of Architectural Engineering from Hanyang University, Seoul, South Korea. He was a research scholar in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Washington at Seattle, WA, USA in 1999 for his first sabbatical year, and in the School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science at the University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK, USA for his second sabbatical year. Prof. Shin is a President of KSSC (Korea Society of Steel Construction), and served as a Chairman of Organizing Committee of ISSS-2015 (The 8th International Symposium on Steel Structures), which was held by KSSC. He is currently an Associate Editor of IJOSS (International Journal of Steel Structures) and JAABE (Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering), both of which are Science Citation Index (SCI) journals. He is also working for the Committee of KBC (Korean Building Code) Revision. Prof. Shin published over 100 journal papers including ASCE, ACI, PCI and Engineering Structures Journals. He also published several books such as Plastic Design, Steel Design based on KBC, and Understanding of Steel Structure and Standard Details of Steel Connection, which are used as a textbook for many undergraduate and graduate classes in South Korea and as a reference for practicing engineers. Shin has been teaching a class related the subject 'Experiment-Based Structural Mechanics' for about 20 years. Dr. Swoo-Heon Lee is working as an Assistant Professor at Kyungpook National University (KNU), Sangju-si, South Korea, and was a Post-doctoral Fellow at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), TX, USA for two years: March 1, 2013 through February 28, 2015. Hereceived his PhD, MS, and BS degrees from KNU. He was a Visiting Scholar in the Department of Civil Engineering at UTA for two one-month periods: February 1, 2018 through February 28, 2018 and July 16, 2018 through August 15, 2018. He is currently working as the Local Organizing Committee of ISSS-2019 (The 10th International Symposium on Steel Structures). Prof. Lee has published two books and about seventeen research articles in international journals including ASCE, ACI, PCI, etc. His research interests include strengthening and rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures.
