About

Phillip Quach is a Senior Structural Engineer at AKT II working on complex projects across commercial, residential, and institutional sectors. His recent portfolio includes prominent developments such as Park Road, CIBC Square, 160 Front, and Concord Canada House. With nearly a decade of experience in the AEC industry, Phil excels in the analysis and design of reinforced concrete and steel structures.

Phil’s pioneering research on the shear response of very thick reinforced concrete slabs led to the construction and testing of the world’s deepest shear specimen, a key component of his graduate thesis at the University of Toronto. His seminal findings were published in ACI’s Concrete International magazine in November 2015 and earned the prestigious ACI Design Award in 2017. This work has set a new standard for shear tests, enhancing the understanding of shear behaviour in massive elements found throughout many structures today.

Holding both a B.A.Sc. in Civil Engineering and M.A.Sc. in Structural Engineering with honours from the University of Toronto, Phil is a registered Professional Engineer in the province of Ontario. He actively contributes to the industry as the Chair of the CTBUH Toronto Chapter, and Co-Chair of the CTBUH Canada Future Leaders Committee.
