Denis Mitchell is a structural engineer who has made scientific advances towards developing behavioral models to predict the response of concrete structures. His innovative approaches to shear and torsion design, the design of regions with complex stress flows, the design of high-strength concrete structures and earthquake-resistant design have had a major impact on codes and standards, as well as the practice of structural engineering. He has received many prestigious awards for his research and has authored two textbooks that are widely acclaimed for their novel approaches towards developing a deeper understanding of the behavior of concrete structures.
