PREAMBLE
Started career as Structural Engineer and rose to become Associate Partner of a
renowned Structural Engineering Firm in Karachi, however, got involved in active
research in 1983 when through Ministry of Higher Education, S. Arabia was appointed
Research Assistant at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran, S.
Arabia, to develop Ferrocement for Housing Applications. Since then actively involved in
objective indigenous research. Produced number of research papers published in journals
of International repute and read at reputed International Conferences in S. Arabia, Iran,
Cuba, USA, Singapore, Hong-Kong, India, France, Switzerland, Thailand, Korea, Japan
and U.K. Main emphases have been on sustainable indigenous technologies, materials
and methodologies, which may serve rural development and low income urban settlers.
Strengthening, re-strengthening, repair and rehabilitation of deteriorated reinforced
concrete structures is another area where expertise have been developed and novel
method of strengthening of RC beams in flexure have been developed for potential
application in buildings and bridges. Capacity building of the country in Earthquake
Engineering with emphasis on Vulnerability Assessment of Building, other Infrastructure
and Retrofit Techniques was under taken through International funding culminating in
worldwide recognition and leading to inclusion of Pakistan in International forums.
Played a vital role in ISO Committees related to Concrete and its related materials leading
to recognition of Pakistan at international meetings. Some of the major accomplishments
are highlighted below.
1. Since thirty (30) years involved in developing indigenous low cost construction
techniques for rural areas of Pakistan, mainly emphasising on non-engineered
construction. While exploring the potentials of one of the versatile construction
materials Ferrocement, have been able to develop methodologies to cast hollow
beams, I-beams, and channel sections without using form work. Extensive work done
in developing analysis and design principles for structural members made of
Ferrocement, which culminated in international recognition. Ferrocement
International Node (FIN-Pakistan) was established at NED University in 1989,
and I was appointed as International Co-ordinator for the same and serving in the
same capacity since then. In June 2001, the organising committee for FERRO-&
Symposium that was held in Singapore, honoured me and my country by inviting me
to Chair one Technical Session. The International Ferrocement Society elected me
as Country Representative for 2nd three years term and correspondent to journal of
Ferrocement. The work produced and presented internationally showed that in this
area of research we are much ahead of the frontiers of existing knowledge from other
counter parts. Correspondent for Journal of Ferrocement for almost 20 years and
Associate member, American Concrete Institute (ACI) Technical Committee
549 on Thin Reinforced Cemetitious Products and Ferrocement.

2. Extensive work has been done in the area of earthquake mitigation. Played leading
role in establishing Cowasjee Earthquake Study Centre at NED University after
the Bhuj Earthquake of 2001. Cowasjee Foundation has sponsored a project to
develop mitigation model, and the first part of the model has been launched. An
earthquake mitigation model has also been developed for Northern Areas of
Pakistan, which could be adopted elsewhere. A Bi-annual Newsletter of Cowasjee
Earthquake Study Centre NED is being published since 8 years under my guidance,
supervision and Editorship, which primarily disseminate knowledge related to
earthquake mitigation. Major development done by transferring technical know-how
to develop earthquake resistant houses in Northern Areas, five such houses were built
in five different villages using local un-skilled workers and using indigenous
materials. A training manual in Urdu was developed to transfer technology so that
non-engineered construction may be transferred into engineered construction.
Consistent efforts in the area of Earthquake Engineering led to the inclusion as
Member for Development of Pakistan Building Code after 2005 Kashmir
Earthquake which now is being implemented by the building authorities and Civic
Agencies all across Pakistan. A concerted effort to identify areas needing Capacity
Building in Earthquake related issues culminated in award of USAID-HEC funding
of the tune of US$ 400,000.00 as Principal Investigator, in collaboration with
GeoHazard International, USA, Stanford University and Berkeley University, USA.
The project which is nearing completion would leave an everlasting impression as
more than 200 professionals have been trained in the area of Vulnerability
Assessment and Retrofit. The reverberation of the endeavour prompted the
International Organizations to include Pakistan in the Global Endeavours related to
Earthquake Studies such as Earthquake Model for Middle East (EMME) and
Global Earthquake Model (GEM). At least five (05) work packages are assigned to
NED University where work is underway under my Supervision. The outcome would
be of immense value to Pakistan as Pakistan would be the data sharing member and
related professionals would have excess to wealth of data related to Earthquake
issues. As fall out of this training material, one M.Engg by Research Degrees, and
one joint patent related to Retrofit Technique have also been achieved. Related
agencies like AKHB, UNDP, NDMA, ERRA in Pakistan and EMME and GEM
Secretariat at international level all are well aware of the cited endeavours. A book in
Urdu related to Earthquake, Consequences and Measures has been written as Co-
author for UNDP. A draft curriculum for undergraduate and postgraduate degree in
earthquake engineering have been developed in collaboration with professors of
Stanford and Berkeley University and is to be submitted to HEC for adoption across
Pakistan.
3. Indigenous, inexpensive, simpler and durable techniques to strengthen structural
members for modest span rural reinforced concrete structures have been developed
which would be of immense value and have received approval at International
Conferences. Recycling of concrete has also been explored and very promising
results achieved. IFS-70, an International Committee on Seismic Application under
Chairmanship of Prof. John Bolander of University of California, Davis, have
included me as a member due to the developed expertise. Developed Bridge
Maintenance and Monitoring Model along with software which prioritize the
rating and identifies the need of any measure needed with regard to repair and
strengthening. Civil agencies and Development Authorities have shown keen interest
in buying the developed model. Research papers pertaining to this has been presented
and got published, one of the papers was awarded the 2nd best paper award.
Development of Disaster Mitigation Model and planning of Disaster and relief
shelters in already built urban environment is underway. Research papers pertaining
to this has been presented and got published.

4. In pursuit of strategic goals for Capacity Building in areas lacking human resources
and expertise, proposals for International funding were developed and submitted
which materialized. One of them being HEC-BC linkage programme where, I as
Link Co-ordinator was able to develop long lasting co-operation with UK based
Universities. The linkage outcome was highly useful and was rated as one of the
most effective linkage by British Council. Another project where my role was of key
advisor was HEC-USAID funded project in collaboration with University of Florida,
USA, entitled “Development of a Strategic Model for Improvement of
Construction Project Management Education, Research, and Practice in
Pakistan”. The project benefited Pakistan Construction Industry in various ways, 4
scholars are completing their Ph.D and at least 3 International Conferences laid the
foundation for future international collaboration. As head of the Project Steering
Committee for a HEC-USAID Project “Karachi; Metropolitan ITS (MITS) Based
Traffic Management Project” in collaboration with University of Mississipi, USA,
provided valuable insight for developing Urban Traffic Management Models, which
are so vital for the fast urbanizing Pakistan.
5. Keeping in view the rapid pace of Urbanization in Pakistan a bold initiative was
undertaken to develop a new discipline as a derivative of conventional Civil
Engineering by the name of “Urban and Infrastructure Engineering”. The
graduates of new discipline are groomed as Civil Engineers for facing the challenges
of the fast growing urban centres in Pakistan. The new discipline has now entered its
7th year.
6. Represented Pakistan for almost Six (06) years in ISO Committees related to
Reinforced Concrete and related materials and played a vital role in developing
standards and Umbrella Code. Peer reviewed National Building Code of Egypt for
conformity with ISO documents and was able to get it approved after convincing the
dissenting reviewers from USA and Australia to gather huge respect from Egyptian
brothers. Efforts to open Pakistan Chapter, American Concrete Institute, USA
bore fruit and ACI Pakistan Chapter is in operation for almost Six (06) years from
NED University where I remained as President of the same.
7. A M.Sc. thesis has already been completed by a research student under my Co-
supervision; constitutive modelling of Ferrocement formed structural members
would give new insight in the understanding of the behavioural aspect of this
fascinating material, which very soon would attain the level of respect it deserves
here in Pakistan. A M.Engg. student completed his research under my supervision
on development of assessment model for seismically deficient buildings, while
engaged as a consulting advisor for one M.Engg (by research) research student. Co-
supervised two (02) Ph.D research scholar where one is a Schlumberger Scholar.
Have refereed technical books written by Pakistani authors, for UGC now HEC and
Oxford Printing Press. Referee for research papers of International Conferences and
reputed International Journals. Evaluator of research proposals submitted to HEC
and Pakistan Science Foundation. Written a Chapter in a Technical Book and also
written book reviews. Have vetted and written technical reports for governmental
and non-governmental agencies. Remained associated with governmental agencies
for assisting in technical matters. Delivered several invited lectures in and out of
Pakistan from the platform of Engineering Institutes and Universities on research
topics. Member of the Editorial Board for three (03) International Journals of
Engineering. Editor to Bi-Annual Newsletter of CESNED, Pakistan and Member
Editorial Advisory Panel of three (03) National Journals. More than Ninety
Four(94) papers published and presented in Journals of International repute and
P a g e | 24
acclaimed International Conferences with several citations. Chaired technical
sessions in reputed conferences outside Pakistan and delivered keynote lectures,
and enjoyed place in technical/scientific committees of International and National
conferences. As PVC looking after all work related to research and its related
activities at NED University inclusive of publication of all University Journals.
In recognition of outstanding contribution to the domain of research during service to
NED University and effort for promotion of research which have been catalytically
in expansion of research culture in NED University, NED University in year 2008
bestowed Special Research Excellence Award for publishing 50 Research Papers
followed by the First Research Excellence Award in Convocation-2011. Pakistan

Engineering and Technology in recognition of outstanding research works in the
subject. Pakistan Council for Sciences and Technology also awarded Research
Productivity Allowance for year 2002-2003, 2003-2004 and 2008-2010, while HEC
awarded the Best University Teacher Award in 2001-2002. NED University in
honour of the contribution to the domain of Research established a Rafeeqi
Endowment Fund for Research in Earthquake Engineering in 2010-11
8. In recognition of his outstanding and remarkable contribution to the advancement of
Civil Engineering and Development in Asia was Awarded the coveted “2019
ACECC Achievement Award” by Asian Civil Engineering Coordinating Council
(ACECC) during 8th CECAR (Civil Engineering Conference in the Asian Region
on 17th April 2019, Tokyo, Japan).
9. As a special assignment the NED University Research Journal got transformed into
an International Journal which now attracts researcher from all over the globe with
an added feature of complete on line system for submission and tracking system and
tracking system for authors, peer reviewers and editor as well, through a software
developed specifically for this purpose and which is comparable to all known
existing international software’s NED University Research Journal now is listed in
X-Category in HEC. The software is ready to be marketed in the region. A new
Journal in Social Sciences was got started on the same lines which is now being
published since four (04) years and is now being considered as a very welcome
addition to list of journals by the international community.
