About

Yongjei Lee is a structural engineering researcher whose work focuses on the durability and rehabilitation of critical infrastructure, particularly prestressed concrete cylinder pipes (PCCP). His most-cited study, "Analysis of prestressed concrete cylinder pipes with fiber reinforced polymer" (2014), has garnered 17 citations and addresses the pressing challenge of aging water conveyance systems. In this work, Lee systematically analyzed the structural behavior of PCCP strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP), offering a robust analytical framework for evaluating the effectiveness of this retrofit technique. His contributions are significant for extending the service life of deteriorating pipelines, directly impacting the safety and reliability of municipal water supply networks. By combining rigorous finite element modeling with practical failure criteria, Lee provides engineers with validated tools for assessing FRP repair strategies. His research bridges the gap between advanced composite materials and legacy infrastructure, making him a valuable voice in the field of structural health monitoring and retrofit. For students and researchers, Lee’s work exemplifies how targeted analytical studies can translate into tangible solutions for real-world civil engineering problems.
