Autorenporträt
A practicing structural engineer and software developer, Dr. Bijan Aalami, Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering at San Francisco State University, is an internationally-renowned educator and leader in the analysis and design of concrete structures, with a specialization in post-tensioning. A native of Iran, he graduated from University of London (Imperial College), and held positions as Professor and Vice-Chancellor of Arya-Mehr (now Sharif) University, followed by an appointment as a Professor of Civil Engineering at San Francisco State University. Bijan has made significant contributions to understanding the behavior of post-tensioned buildings and bridges and developing procedures for their design. Bijan's decades of contribution to the post-tensioning industry were recognized through his initiation in the Hall of Fame of the Post-Tensioning Institute. He has received the American Concrete Institute's Design Award for the "application of advanced engineering to a notable concrete structure." Bijan is a Chartered Engineer in the UK, and a registered Structural Engineer in California. Bijan has been holding educational courses and engineering webinars throughout the United States and 45 countries worldwide. As a Principal of the former ADAPT Corporation (now PTstructures) - a structural engineering firm in California that specializes in the design of concrete structures - Bijan has been engaged in the design and construction of concrete buildings, bridges and special structures, in particular those that are post-tensioned, for over 40 years. Bijan was the creator and, for over 20 years, the project leader of the software suite ADAPT, now RISA-ADAPT that is used by concrete design engineers with focus on post-tensioning in more than 75 countries worldwide. Dr Bijan Aalami and his family live in Palo Alto, California.
