Faculty   

Two of the following will be your instructors:

Neal S. Anderson, PE, SE, FACI, FPCI, Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institutes (CRSI), Schaumberg, IL. As Vice President of Engineering, Anderson is responsible for the technical engineering operations of CRSI. Prior to CRSI, he was a structural engineer for 21 years for WJE extensively involved with the investigation and rehabilitation of several reinforced and precast/prestressed concrete structures. He also served as one of the principal investigators for PCI’s extensive research program on the behavior and design criteria of headed stud anchorages. Anderson is a member of ACI 318 - Structural Building Code, 318B – Reinforcement, 318-C Analysis, 355 – Anchorage, 445 - Shear and Torsion, and C601A – Adhesive Anchor Certification; and serves on several CRSI and PCI technical committees.

Ronald A. Cook, PhD, PE, FACI, Professor of Civil Engineering, University of Florida. He is past chairman of ACI 355 Anchorage to Concrete and a member of ACI 318 Subcommittee B Reinforcement and Development and ACI 349 Concrete Nuclear Structures. Dr. Cook is an ACI Fellow and recipient of the Delmar L. Bloem Distinguished Service Award. In addition to ACI activities, he is chairman of the ASCE 7 Committee on Wind Loads and a member of the ASTM Committee on Structural Connections, the International Federation for Structural Concrete Task Group on Fastenings, and the International Association of Bridge and Structural Engineers Working Commission on Concrete Structures. He is a registered professional engineer and his work experience includes 3 years in construction, 11 years in engineering design, and the past 19 years in engineering education and research at UF.

Richard E. Klingner, PhD, FACI, Professor, Civil Engineering Department, University of Texas, Austin, TX. Klingner’s field of specialization is structural engineering, with emphasis on the analytical and experimental investigation of the dynamic response of structures, earthquake-resistant design of masonry and concrete structures, and anchorage to concrete. He has investigated and published extensively in the latter area, including the development of plastic design approaches for multiple-anchor connections, cracked concrete testing, and seismic behavior and design. He is a member of ACI 355, Anchorage to Concrete, and 349, Concrete Nuclear Structures. He also serves on the ACI Board of Direction and is a member of ACI Educational Activities Committee.

Robert R. McGlohn, MS, PE, Engineering Project Manager, KBR, Birmingham, AL. McGlohn has 32 years experience specializing in the design of industrial facilities that include heavy reinforced concrete and steel structures for equipment and buildings. He has extensive experience in the selection and design of concrete foundations and anchorage systems for the power, forest products, and manufacturing industries. His expertise includes retrofitting existing buildings and equipment support structures providing unique, constructible solutions for complex problems. McGlohn currently serves as an engineering project manager leading engineering discipline teams performing FEED studies and detail engineering for KBR’s Power and Industrial business line. McGlohn serves on ACI 355, Anchorage to Concrete, and 351, Equipment Foundations. He has published papers on the design of anchorage and large equipment concrete foundations.

Donald F. Meinheit, PhD, PE, SE, FACI, retired from Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. (WJE) in 2006 after being on the WJE structural engineering staff for 28 years. During Dr. Meinheit’s 40 year career as a structural engineer, he has participated in many projects including collapse and failure investigations, laboratory research test programs, structural deterioration investigations, structural repair projects, and a variety of other material evaluation projects. Dr. Meinheit is an active contributor to several committees in ACI, CRSI, and PCI. He was one of the investigators on a research project to evaluate the PCI design procedures for headed studs. This research resulted in major revisions to the PCI design procedures in the PCI Design Handbook. He has a long association with concrete anchors and anchorage to concrete design and is the chair of the ACI 355 - Anchorage to Concrete and ACI C601A – Adhesive Anchor Certification committees.
