Chidchanok (Fen) Pleesudjai

Ph.D. Student and Graduate Research Associate · School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment


Chidchanok Pleesudjai is a Ph.D. student and Graduate Research Associate in Civil, Environmental, and Sustainable Engineering in the Mobasher research group at Arizona State University.

Her research develops generalized parametric and closed-form solutions for the flexural response of fiber reinforced concrete, hybrid reinforced concrete, textile reinforced concrete, and layered sections, using multi-linear tension and compression models with any number of segments and rebar layers. Her paper on analytical moment-curvature solutions for generalized textile reinforced concrete sections in Engineering Structures received an Elsevier best paper recognition.

She works on fiber reinforced concrete pavements under the ADOT SPR-807 implementation project, where fiber reinforcement demonstrated a 20 percent slab thickness reduction, and contributed to the fatigue testing program with Valley Metro that supported FRC adoption in the Phoenix light rail. Before the Ph.D. she was a bridge design engineer with the Thai Ministry of Transport, designing more than 15 bridges a year.
