Dr. Ramseyer’s research interests span both structural engineering and concrete materials. His materials research includes both portland and calcium sulphoaluminate cements, intended for longer lasting construction, rehabilitation. and repair of pavements and bridges. His structural research interests include rehabilitation and repair of pavement and bridges and lateral load resistance of structures to high wind events. Dr. Ramseyer has been involved in 49 research projects, serving as principal investigator on 37 sponsored by national and state agencies and private industry. He has personal credit for over $2.1 million dollars in research and over $2.6 million dollars in donations to support research. He has participated in the development of more than 70 published peer reviewed research papers in technical journals and conference proceedings, 4 chapters or sections of refereed documents, and 1 book. He has made 8 presentations at international conferences, 59 presentations at national conferences and 102 invited presentations concerning his research. Dr. Ramseyer is a Licensed Professional Engineer in California, Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming and North Carolina. He was the lead structural engineer for the award winning SkyDance Bridge in Oklahoma City and is the only structural engineer that participated in both the NSF RAPID residential evaluation and ASCE/SEI school/commercial structure evaluation after the May 20th 2013 Tornado in Moore, Oklahoma. Dr. Ramseyer led the development of the enhanced building code for tornadoes adopted by the City of Moore, OK, and developed the Residential Tornado Provisions of the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission statewide adoption of the 2015 International Residential Code, which are the first residential building codes to address tornadoes. He is a Fellow of the American Concrete Institute (ACI), and a voting member on several technical committees.
