Dr. Mohammad Mirshekari PhD, BEng (Hons)

Interspan would like to congratulate Mohammad Mirshekari on the award of his PhD from Kingston University. Since starting with Interspan over 4 years ago as a design engineer, Mohammad has been balancing his project-based workload with his work on the Behaviour of Pre-stressed FRP Reinforced Concrete Beams.

The aim of the PhD project was to investigate the behaviour of BFRP reinforced beams with different level of prestressing and to compare their deformability with the deformations developed in steel-reinforced beams.

As a design manager, Mohammad has been responsible for the design and construction process of PT concrete slabs for various clients and building types including:

• Arrowhead Quay (The Wardian), London
• Marble Arch Place, London
• Van der Valk Zuidas, Amsterdam
• 1-5 Grosvenor Place, London
• Lillie Square, London
• Inverness Justice Centre, Inverness
• Capital Dock (Block C), Dublin
• Academiestraat Gent, Gent

Mohammad has also written, and co-written various papers published in international conferences, including the Comparison between punching shear capacity of PT and RC slabs according to different design codes, fib Symposium 2017, 12-14 June, Maastricht, Netherlands.

Well done Mohammad, we look forward to working with you as your career develops.
