Dr. Fahed H. Salahat, Ph.D., is a Lecturer of Structural Engineering courses at Palestine Polytechnic University. His research focuses on the non-linear response of reinforced concrete structures, the damage mechanisms of RC elements under dynamic loading as well as strengthening of RC elements using FRP composits. Dr. Salahat is a member in multiple professional organizations such as ASCE and ACI. He serves as a committee memer of ACI 370 blast and impact load effects.
