Brief Curriculum Vitae

Kolawole Olonade is a structure and cement-based materials expert with focus on utilization of various wastes (agricultural and industrial) for the production of high performance concrete. He had his undergraduate study in Civil Engineering from the Federal University of Technology, Nigeria; Masters in Civil Engineering from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, while he obtained his PhD degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering with bias in structures and materials from the University of Lagos, Nigeria. He started his teaching and research career with the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro and then joined Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife in 2010. Currently, he is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the University of Lagos. He is a chartered engineer by the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN). He is equally a member of the Nigerian Society of Engineers, Nigerian Institution of Civil Engineers as well as a senior member of RILEM. Dr. Olonade is an active member of the Technical Committee of RILEM: TC 251-Sulphate Testing Resistance, TC 281- Carbonation of Concrete with Supplementary Cementitious Materials and TC AMC- Use of Agro-Based Materials as Cementitious Additions in Concrete and Cement-Based Materials. Dr. Olonade was a guest scientist at BAM Berlin for three months to study compatibility of PCE-Based superplasticizer with cementitious system containing cassava peel ash. He was equally at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil to investigate Impact Resistance of Vegetable Fibre Reinforced Cement-Based Composite Under Dynamic Loading. He is a recipient of a number of awards and grants, which include the distinguished German-African Innovation Incentive Award.

Research interests related to the TC 281-CCC WG4

Dr. Olonade has studied and published a number of articles on the mechanical performance and durability characteristics of cement-based products containing different wastes. Though he has not publish much on the durability of concrete under carbonation effect, but has conducted a study on the drying shrinkage and carbonation of concrete containing steel slag as fine aggregate. Nevertheless, he has potential to contribute immensely to goal of the WG4 of the TC 281-CCC based on his exposure and experience.
