Sobhy Masoud

Sobhy Masoud, PhD, P.Eng, PE has over 30 years of experience in structural engineering, designing, and managing projects in all major development sectors. He specializes in the unique structural requirements of buildings and infrastructure that can resist extremely hazardous conditions, such as crash impact loading, blasts, tornados, and hurricanes. Furthermore, his contributions to several research initiatives demonstrate his dedication to advancing the field of structural engineering. Sobhy is a co-inventor of the Intelligent Structural Panel, Speedstac (a concrete and mass timber solution), and the TimberClad mass timber cladding system. Concrete remains essential to modern construction, but growing pressure to reduce embodied carbon, while improving efficiency, durability, and constructability, is driving new approaches to the material. This session explores how innovation in concrete can extend beyond traditional mix design to rethink how the material is engineered, manufactured,
