On Monday, March 18, 2024, the Department of Civil Engineering at King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL) had the honor of hosting Associate Professor Dr. Samitr Songpiriyakij from the Department of Civil Engineering and Environmental Technology at King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology North Bangkok, who is also the chairman of the Civil Engineering Branch of the Engineering Institute of Thailand. He delivered a lecture on the topic ‘Design and Construction of Concrete Structures Reinforced with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer’ for current students, alumni, and interested individuals. The objective of the lecture was to provide attendees with knowledge and understanding of glass fiber reinforced materials and how to apply them in structural design and construction. The lecture covered the properties of glass fiber reinforced materials, their maintenance and storage, the design of concrete structures reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer under bending forces, the design of concrete structures reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer under shear forces, considerations for cracking, deflection, fatigue, creep, and embedment length. This event was held in the Faculty of Engineering conference room on the 2nd floor of Lecture Building 4.
