Biography
Dr William M. C. McKenzie is also the author of six design textbooks relating to both the British Standards and the structural Eurocodes for structural design of various construction materials and members, e.g. steel, concrete, masonry and timber, and one structural analysis textbook. As a member of the Institute of Physics, he was both a Chartered Engineer and a Chartered Physicist and had been largely involved in teaching, research and consultancy for more than 40 years.
Professor Binsheng Zhang has been working at Tongji University and three Scottish universities since completing PhD in 1987 and his teaching, research and consultancy interests include design, analysis and modelling of concrete, timber and steel structures, construction materials technology, dynamic performance of structures, and tests on mechanical properties and structural performances of construction materials and members under various loading and extreme environmental conditions. He has published 3 textbooks and over 100 technical papers.
