William L. Gamble holds a B.S. (Kansas State University, 1959), M.S. (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1961), and Ph.D. (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1962), all in Civil Engineering. He has been on the faculty of the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering since 1963. He is a Registered Structural Engineer in the State of Illinois.

Dr. Gamble has taught five different undergraduate and graduate courses in the areas of reinforced and prestressed concrete, plus a course on the fire resistance of structures. He is co-author (with Robert Park of New Zealand) of the book “Reinforced Concrete Slabs” (Wiley, 2nd Ed., 2000).

Dr. Gamble has research and professional interests in the analysis and design of highway and railway bridges, building structures, prestressed concrete piling, and tunnel lining systems. The bridge-related research has included a major concentration on the time-dependent behavior of prestressed concrete structures.

Dr. Gamble is a Fellow of the American Concrete Institute and a Life Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers. He is also a member of the Prestressed Concrete Institute, the American Society for Testing and Materials, and the Structural Engineers Association of Illinois. He is a member of the Joint ACI-ASCE Committees on Reinforced Concrete Slabs and on Prestressed Concrete. He also a member of the ACI Committees on Fire Resistance and on Concrete Piling, the PCI Building Code Committee, and the ASTM Committee on Reinforcing Steel.

Dr. Gamble was a Fulbright Fellow in Australia in 1962-1963.
