Leslie J. Struble

Professor

Leslie J. Struble holds a B.A. in chemistry (Pitzer College, 1970), an M.S. in civil engineering (Purdue University, 1979), and a Ph.D. in civil engineering (Purdue University, 1987). She has been a member of the faculty in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana since 1989. Prior to joining the faculty of the University of Illinois, she worked at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Martin Marietta Laboratories, and California Portland Cement Company.

Dr. Struble has taught undergraduate courses on the behavior of construction materials and on concrete science and technology, and graduate courses on the composition and microstructure of cement, the durability of building materials, and laboratory methods for characterizing construction materials.

Dr. Struble has research and consulting interests involving various aspects of concrete performance. She is currently directing research on the flow behavior of cement paste and concrete, and on concrete durability. She is Director of the Center for Cement Composite Materials at UIUC and Associate Director of the Center for Advanced Cement Based Materials (headquartered at Northwestern University). She has edited several books and proceedings and has authored or co-authored more than 90 publications dealing with various aspects of cement and concrete.

Dr. Struble is active in several professional societies. She is a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society and has served as Editor of Cements Research Progress and Trustee of the Cements Division. She is a member of the Materials Research Society and served as Co-Chairman of 1995 Fall Meeting. She is active in Committees C1 and C9 of the American Society for Testing and Materials, chairing several subcommittees and task groups. She is a member of the American Concrete Institute, has served as Associate Editor of the Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, and is a member of Sigma Xi.

Dr. Struble was awarded a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award in 1992 to support research on rheology of cement paste and concrete. She is a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society and an Honorary Member of ASTM C01.
