Dr. Khaled Sennah is a Professor of Structural Engineering at the Civil Engineering Department at Toronto Metropolitan University, Toronto, Canada. Dr. Sennah’s areas of expertise include the design, evaluation, and rehabilitation of bridges and the structural behavior of structural components made of steel, concrete, and timber for building applications, on which he has more than 290 publications and has supervised over 100 graduate students. He has demonstrated numerous evidences of impact and contribution to the economic design and sustainable construction that have led to field applications and standards. Dr. Sennah’s research achievements have been recognized by international awards such as the 1999 Arthur Wellington Prize for best journal paper in transportation-related infrastructure and the 2002 State-of-the-Art in Civil Engineering award for best journal paper, both from the American Society for Civil Engineers, ASCE. Also, he received the 1998 and 2020 P.L. Pratley Award for best paper in bridge engineering and the 2013 A.B. Sanderson Award for “Outstanding Contributions by a Civil Engineer to the Development and Practice of Structural Engineering in Canada,” all from the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering. In recognition of his long-term achievements, he was elected Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in 2025, Fellow of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE) in 2011, Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC) in 2016, and Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering (CAE) in 2017. Sennah was elected Fellow of the International Association of Advanced Materials (FIAAM), recognizing his contribution to “Innovative Solutions in Structural Design and Construction.” He is a member of three Canadian Standard Association’s Technical Subcommittees for developing the 2025 Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code, chair of the FRP group, member of the Material Specific Design Provisions Working Group, and member of the Structures and Analysis Working Group for the development of the 2023 CSA Standard S7 Pedestrian, Cycling and Multiuse Bridge Design Guideline. Also, he is a member of the A253 technical committee (TC) of CSA-S37 Standard: Antennas, Towers, And Antenna-Supporting Structures. Moreover, he is a member of five American Concrete Institute (ACI) committees. Dr. Sennah has a long history of significant contributions to the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE) through committee membership, membership, and chairing of scientific committees of conferences, Chairing International conferences, and chairing CSCE Structures Division and others. He is an Associate Editor for the Canadian Journal for Civil Engineering and an Editorial Board member of the ASCE Journal of Composites for Construction. Also, he is the Vice President of the International Association of Jointless Bridges.
