Dr.-Ing. Dipl.-Kfm. Hermann Weiher is managing partner of matrics engineering GmbH and responsible for 'Bridges'. He studied civil engineering and economics, and obtained a doctoral degree in 2007 in the field of prestressed concrete (TU München, Prof. K. Zilch). From 2003 until 2009 he worked as a research assistant at the Chair for Concrete Construction of TU München. There he was a member of the group 'Bridges and Post-Tensioning' and was group leader from 2006 onwards. From 2004 until 2010 Mr. Weiher also provided independent consulting services in the area of prestressed concrete construction for existing structures, for the assessment of prestressing systems, prestressing technology and ground engineering. Mr. Weiher is a Professional Engineer in Germany (BayIKaBau) and an Inspection Engineer (DIN1076).

Dr. Weiher is an active member of several national and international committees, e.g.:

- fib:

+ Full member of Commission 9 ‚Reinforcing and Prestressing Steel' (formerly FIP)

+ Chairman of Task Group 9.12 "Ground Anchors"
