Top OIQ prize goes to Fellow

Kudos to the University of Sherbrooke’s Brahim Benmokrane FCAE winning OIQ 2016 Grand Prix d’excellence. According to theOIQ “Mr. Benmokrane’s research projects have made it possible to design innovative ways of using fibreglass and carbon fibre composite materials rather than classical steel rods to reinforce concrete. He has developed the largest research laboratory in the world for fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) reinforcements. These projects have tangible impacts, such as a considerable decrease in the deterioration of infrastructures and associated maintenance expenses.”
