Bio/Research
Hajiloo is a professor of fire safety engineering. his doctoral research focused on the behavior of FRP-reinforced concrete in fire.
His research program addresses the safety of emerging and sustainable construction systems including fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP), fabric-reinforced cementitious matrices (FRCM), and mass timber in fires. By combining large-scale furnace testing, hybrid fire experiments, computational modeling, and artificial intelligence, his group develops knowledge that informs safer design practices for modern infrastructure. Another component of this work is the assessment of structures after fire, where he evaluates residual capacity and determines the extent of damage to buildings and bridges.
He has played an active role in advancing international codes and standards. He serves as Chair of ACI 216-A, leading efforts on rational fire resistance design for reinforced concrete, and is a voting member of ACI 440-H and ACI 440-C, where he helped draft the fire safety provisions in ACI 440.11-22, the first comprehensive code for FRP-reinforced concrete. In Canada, he is an associate member of CSA S806, ensuring that national design frameworks reflect the latest understanding of FRP systems in fire.
