Biography
Riyadh Al-Ameri, PhD
SFHEA FIEAust CPEng NER M.ASCE
Al-Ameri is the postgraduate course coordinator (Civil Engineering) at the School of Engineering. He has more than 25 years of industrial and academic experience. Before joining Deakin University in 2010, Al-Ameri was engaged for five years in a senior role in the construction industry within the design and consultation space. He has established an international professional reputation. Riyadh has worked as an academic in various universities internationally, including the University of Baghdad and the University of Technology in Iraq. In 2005, Riyadh was awarded the Australian Government Endeavour Research Fellowship hosted by Monash University. He has contributed to novel research and is acknowledged with an honorary position. Since 2015, Riyadh has been working closely with the American University of Sharjah (UAE) on the durability of concrete in the marine environment, and he has developed a relevant testing facility at Deakin's concrete lab to continue his research.
Al-Ameri has participated effectively in industry projects, teaching and learning, research, and service at deakin University. His research at Deakin University focuses on sustainable infrastructure and built environments. His award-winning research has been funded by various industry partners including Fresenius Medical Care, FormFlow, L2U Group, and Auspits. Al-Ameri is a Fellow of Engineers Australia, registered Chartered Professional Engineer in Leadership and Engineering Management, Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, and Building Services. Member of Standard Australia scoping committee BD-108, for designing Concrete Structures using Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Bars. Al-Ameri is an internationally recognised civil and structural engineer and licensed in Australia (CPEng, NER, VBA-EC), Bahrain (Cat-A), and Iraq (consultant Engineer).
Al-Ameri obtained his PhD in structural engineering from Cardiff University (UK) and contributed to the theoretical development of steel-concrete composite structures. He expanded his research in collaboration with industry partners to cover innovative structural systems such as slim composite floors, cellular structures, and affordable housing. In his research, Al-Ameri focuses on the durability of concrete and composite structures and investigates the steel/concrete corrosion in the harsh and marine environment. Al-Ameri examines sustainable construction materials and techniques to extend the service life of new and existing infrastructure while incorporating various waste and industry by-products in concrete, such as recycled concrete aggregate, construction and demolition waste, medical plastic waste, glass waste, and fly ash. His research on reusing waste plastic and glass in concrete has a potential impact on several sectors, including the construction industry, waste management, the environment, and the health sector. Al-Ameri received many national awards in 2018, while the Fisher Fine Arts Library's New Materials Collection at the University of Pennsylvania (United States) displayed samples of his new concrete. Engineers Australia has listed Al-Ameri as Australia's Most Innovative Engineer (2018), recipient of the Victorian Regional Achievement and Community Award (2018), Excellence in Industry Collaborations Award (2014), and Teaching Excellence Award (2012).

Knowledge areas
RESEARCH FOCUS
Upgrading civil infrastructure is the core theme of Al-Ameri's research, which covers steel-concrete composite construction, improved construction materials, the durability of concrete in marine environments, mitigation of steel bar corrosion, and reusing waste materials in construction. His research provides evidence support incorporating recycling waste plastic, waste glass, waste carbon fibres, and fly ash in construction. He developed a novel low-carbon concrete (geopolymer concrete) containing recycled aggregate and construction and demolition waste. His work also used Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) to retrofit concrete structures and investigates the long-term performance of rubber-modified epoxy in CFRP and Basalt Fibre Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) bars in concrete. His research on reusing medical plastic waste in concrete has had a significant impact on the construction industry, waste management, environment protection, and health sector, and has received many national awards, such as Australia's Most Innovative Engineer (2018), Victorian Regional Achievement and Community Award (2018), and has been acknowledged in the Victorian State of Engineering Report (2019). One of Al-Ameri's research interests is the partial interaction behaviour of steel-concrete composite structures using steel decking and a slim flooring system. A new hybrid structural system with two-way novel steel decking has been developed in collaboration with industry partners.
