## Overview

### Background

**Qualifications:**

- PhD (Civil Engineering), The University of Queensland, Australia.

- Graduate Certificate in Higher Education, The University of Queensland, Australia.
- B.Eng (Civil Engineering), The University of Danang, Vietnam.

Vinh Dao is an Associate Professor and Structures Discipline Lead in the School of Civil Engineering at The University of Queensland, where he has been since 2009. He is currently the UQ-IITD Research Academy Theme Lead for *Advanced materials and manufacturing*. He was the Director of Teaching and Learning (UQ Civil Engineering, 2020-2021) and the Deputy Director of Research (UQ Civil Engineering, 2019).

He has been an elected National Councillor of the [Concrete Institute of Australia](http://www.concreteinstitute.com.au) (2013-2023, 2025-ongoing), responsible for "Concrete In Australia" Magazine (2013-2019) and "Technical & Publications" portfolio (2019-2023). He is currently also (i) Chair of the Organising Committee for Concrete2027 - the Concrete Institute of Australia’s 33rd Biennial National Conference, (ii) co-Vice-Chair of the 2nd International Conference on Engineering Structures (ICES2026), (iii) an Associate Editor of [Australian Journal of Structural Engineering](https://www.tandfonline.com/action/journalInformation?show=editorialBoard&journalCode=tsen20) and (ii) the General Secretary of EASEC International Steering Committee. He was (i) the Vice-Chair of the 16th East Asia-Pacific Conference on Structural Engineering & Construction and (ii) an invited presenter of the National Seminar Series on “Early-age cracking in concrete structures” in capital cities around Australia, besides many state/industry seminars.

Vinh's research interests are in the broad areas of structural engineering and fundamental behaviour of concrete/structures. The focus of his research has been on connecting materials behaviour to structural response of concrete in order to address major issues facing construction industry; with current emphasis on (i) performance of concrete structures at early ages and at elevated temperatures and (ii) low carbon concretes.

In teaching, he has been lecturing in the areas of structural mechanics, reinforced and prestressed concrete design, concrete technology, and advanced structural engineering. He has received a few nominations for the most effective lecturer from UQ-EAIT Dean’s commendation students and was profiled in *Learning@UQ* for having contributed to high quality of the student experience at UQ.

### Research interests

- #### Fire performance of concrete structures

  Our current knowledge of concrete performance in fire remains largely based on data from conventional tests in which the thermal loading experienced by concrete specimens is very difficult to be consistently controlled. As a result, the effect of temperature gradients within concrete on its fire performance has not been adequately investigated; neither has the influence of critical processes linked with temperature gradients (including thermal stresses, moisture transport, and pore pressures) – This knowledge gap is critical due to the likely significant temperature gradients within concrete in fire.
  This line of research, through addressing major shortcomings of current “standardized” tests for concrete in fire, aims to address the above-mentioned knowledge gap.

- #### Fundamental properties and behaviour of early-age concrete

  Early-age cracks and their further development at later ages can seriously compromise the integrity, durability, aesthetics, and long-term service life of wide-ranging types of concrete structures. Despite significant ongoing research, problems in early-age concrete remain among the most common causes of litigation in current construction industry.
  This line of research, through addressing major existing gaps, aims to provide a holistic understanding of the key phenomena and factors underlying the performance of early-age concrete, leading to more effective crack control in concrete structures.
