Faculty   

Two of the following will be your instructors:

Neal S. Anderson, PE, SE, FACI, Wiss Janney Elstner Associates, Inc., Chicago, IL. Anderson has been extensively involved with the investigation and rehabilitation of reinforced and precast/prestressed concrete and steel structures. His work has encompassed the structural evaluation and repair of bridges, buildings, parking decks, historic structures, and stadiums. He has also served as one of the principal investigators for PCI’s research program on the behavior and design criteria of headed stud anchorages performed in the WJE Structural Laboratory. Anderson is a member of ACI 318-E, Building Code Shear and Torsion; 355, Anchorage; and 445, Shear and Torsion, and serves on several PCI committees.

Peter J. Carrato, Ph.D., P.E., S.E., CEng, and Fellow, Bechtel Corporation, Frederick, MD. He has worked for the Bechtel Corporation for over 25 years, and has held a position on the Civil Engineering faculty at Bucknell University, Lewisburg, PA as a visiting professor for five years. Carrato serves on ACI 355, Anchorage to Concrete, and 349, Concrete Nuclear Structures. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Institution of Civil Engineers in England. Carrato is a registered Professional Engineer in Virginia and a licensed Structural Engineer in the State of Illinois. He is also a Chartered Engineer in the United Kingdom.

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, Ph.D., 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, M.S., P.E., Engineering Project Manager, BE&K, Inc., Birmingham, AL. McGlohn has 30 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, paper, 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 in the services and downstream business lines for BE&K Engineering, a KBR Company. 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, Ph.D.,P.E.,S.E., FACI, Senior Consultant, Wiss Janney Elstner Associates, Inc., Chicago, IL. Since 1979, he has managed numerous collapse and failure investigations, laboratory test programs, and a variety of other structural and material evaluation projects. Meinheit has also managed and participated in several extensive laboratory testing programs. He is the Chair of ACI 355, Anchorage to Concrete; and serves on ACI 533, Precast Panels; and ACI/ASCE 352, Joints and Connections. He has published articles and been an active contributor to committee reports for ACI, Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute, and Precast/ Prestressed Concrete Institute.
