Jun-Jie Zeng

Dr. Jun-Jie Zeng is a Researcher at UniSA STEM (University of South Australia) with a focus on structural and civil engineering applications of composite materials. He is affiliated with both the University of South Australia and Guangdong University of Technology through his research collaborations.

• Current affiliations: University of South Australia (UniSA STEM), Guangdong University of Technology
• Research focus: Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites, Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC), offshore structures, fatigue analysis

His research explores the mechanical properties and long-term performance of FRP-reinforced structures, including thermoplastic FRP bars, floating wind turbine foundations, and UHPC tubular beams. Key contributions include refining stress-strain models for partially wrapped FRP columns, analyzing creep performance in thermoplastic composites, and developing novel design frameworks for shear capacity prediction in FRP-reinforced beams. Recent work on hydrodynamic performance of FRP-UHPC foundations highlights their potential to reduce maintenance costs in marine environments.

His publications span journals like Construction and Building Materials, Ocean Engineering, and Engineering Structures, often in collaboration with institutions such as South China University of Technology and Dongguan University of Technology. Notable projects include fatigue testing of FRP-UHPC beams and comparative studies of thermoplastic vs. thermosetting FRP composites. He holds an ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Grant (DE220100406) for his work on advanced structural composites.
