**Meet the editors**

Associate Professor Dr. Hakan Yalciner is an earthquake and structure engineer in Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University and chair in the Department of Civil Engineering. Dr. Yalciner received his PhD from Eastern Mediterranean University. He is a voting member of ACI Committees 546-00 (Repair of Concrete) and 546-0E (Corrosion Studies). His research interests include per-

formance analysis of structures under extreme conditions and loads, such as corrosion, seismic events, and blast. Dr. Yalciner developed different empirical models for the prediction of the structural behavior of corroded reinforced concrete members. He is currently director of the 13th March of Structural Mechanics Laboratory in Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University. His total accepted budget for academic projects in 2018 was US\$250,000.

Dr. Ehsan Noroozinejad Farsangi is currently serving as an associate professor in the Department of Earthquake Engineering at Graduate University of Advanced Technology, Iran. He obtained his doctorate degree from the International Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Seismology, Tehran. He is also serving as the deputy editor of the *International Journal of Earthquake and Im-*

*pact Engineering*, UK, and is a voting member of the International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures technical committee on Structural Performance and Design of Structures. His current research interests include structural dynamics and vibration control; multihazard protection of structures from earthquake, blast, fire, and wind; resilience-based design; finite element methods; fiber-reinforced polymers in prestressed concrete structures; and infrastructure engineering.
