About
JKP Static Ltd (JKP) was founded by Dr. Peter Karoly Juhasz in 2013 to provide innovative design, research, and laboratory testing services for concrete structures. With a strong background in research and development, JKP specializes in concrete, reinforced concrete, and fibre-reinforced concrete solutions.
From the very beginning, Dr. Juhasz has focused on expanding JKP's expertise in the latest concrete materials and design techniques. He is particularly experienced in synthetic fibre reinforcement, including its testing, modeling, and finite element analysis. His research has been published widely, with over 50 scientific papers presented at major international conferences. Dr. Juhasz regularly contributes to advancing the industry by sharing his findings on testing methods, material models, and innovations in fibre-reinforced concrete.
What JKP Offers
JKP provides design, research, and laboratory testing for a wide range of concrete structures, with a special focus on fibre-reinforced concrete. Our services include:

- Innovative Structural DesignComprehensive design services addressing geometry, reinforcement, and unique concrete properties such as shrinkage, creep, and fatigue.
- Advanced Material ResearchExpertise in cutting-edge materials like Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC) and Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP).
- Sustainability PracticesEco-friendly solutions aimed at reducing material waste and carbon footprints.
- Industrial CollaborationSupport for manufacturers and developers through product testing, compliance evaluation, and market introduction of new materials.
- Comprehensive Testing CapabilitiesAbility to test load-bearing capacities, flexural and compressive strengths, durability, and environmental resistance of structures.
- Customized Testing SolutionsOffering tailored tests for construction projects, product development, and innovative designs.
- Global Standards ComplianceEnsuring that designs and materials meet both local and international requirements for durability and safety.
Key Projects and Achievements
Since its inception, JKP has successfully completed hundreds of projects worldwide. Some of our most notable achievements include:
Shanghai Metro (China, 2014): in collaboration with Tongji University, we optimized the steel bar reinforcement for the Shanghai subway tunnel by incorporating synthetic macro fibres, improving both performance and sustainability.
PCAT Railway Slabs (England, 2014-2016): JKP helped design precast railway slabs that eliminated the need for traditional steel reinforcement, earning international innovation awards.
Szeged Tramlines (Hungary, 2011): We designed Hungary’s first cast-in-situ synthetic macro fibre-reinforced concrete tramline, a pioneering project that has since inspired similar developments in Saint Petersburg (Russia).
Debrecen Stadium (Hungary, 2014): JKP’s innovative design replaced traditional shear reinforcement with synthetic macro fibres in the grandstand structures, setting a global precedent for fibre-reinforced stadium construction.
Leading the Way in Fibre Reinforcement Technology
In 2016, JKP’s innovative approach was recognized when Dr. Juhasz’s Modified Fracture Energy Method became part of the official ITAtech guidelines, further cementing JKP's role as a leader in fibre-reinforced concrete design. Our contributions to projects like FibreLAB, a collaboration with Cervenka Consulting, have resulted in cutting-edge material models now integrated into ATENA software for finite element analysis.
Pioneering Sustainability with Synthetic Solutions
At JKP, we believe in a more sustainable future for construction. Our Synthetic Solution (SynSol) Project compared synthetic products from leading global manufacturers, showing how concrete beams can be reinforced using entirely synthetic materials. This research aims to transform the concrete industry by offering more eco-friendly, durable, and cost-effective alternatives to traditional materials.
Collaborations and Partnerships
JKP has had the privilege of working with industry leaders such as MottMcDonald, Dragados, and AECOM. These collaborations allow us to continuously innovate and apply the latest technologies in real-world projects across the globe.
