This book is a personal anthology of the author's utmost academic
works and accomplishments with his former students and colleagues
intended as an enduring record for the engineering community for
many years to come.The author's forty-year professional career and
academic life journey is first briefly sketched in Chapter 1 and
more details are elaborated in three chapters that follow: Chapter
2: The first ten years at Lehigh - beginning to show; Chapter 3:
Twenty=three years at Purdue - the highly productive years; and
Chapter 4: seven years at UH - the pursuit of excellence. The
author's specific academic contributions are documented in the
following three chapters: Chapter 5: 23 academic bulletins are
selected to highlight his 10 major research areas; Chapter 6: 23
Academic masterpiece books are listed along with their respective
peer review comments; and Chapter 7: academic publications include
journal articles, conference proceedings and symposiums, and
lectures and keynotes. The book ends with the listing of all the
author's 55 doctoral students' dissertation titles in Chapter 8.In
1975 at Lehigh, the author published a milestone treatise on Limit
Analysis and Soil Plasticity. In 1982 at Purdue, he published
another pioneering work on Plasticity in Reinforced Concrete.In
September 1999, the author was recruited by UH to take the Deanship
of the College of Engineering to accomplish the noble mission: to
build the College to become one of the top 50 engineering schools
by strengthening the faculty, improving the facilities, and
increasing the enrollment. Over his seven years at UH, a lot of
progress was made in all these three areas - the research program
expanded, facilities improved, and enrollment increased.Related
