Dr. Khalil AL-Bukhaiti is a distinguished expert in the field of evaluation with a genuine interest in improving structural engineering constructions. His evaluation model is grounded on responsive constructivism, which has led to the development of novel materials to enhance the resistance of structural members. With years of experience in research, evaluation, teaching, and analysis, Dr. AL-Bukhaiti has created this model through practical experimentation in laboratories and educational institutions. The central tenet of Dr. AL-Bukhaiti's work is strengthening reinforced concrete members, such as columns and bridge piers, using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials to withstand the impact of train-derailed collisions. This methodology builds upon previous generations of evaluation methods, namely analysis, design, and evaluations, and accommodates theoretical assumptions. Notably, this approach is highly responsive to field practices and departs from conventional techniques in several ways.
