  • Structural Analysis
  • Earthquake Engineering

AREAS OF RESEARCH

  • Bond and Development of Reinforcement. Effect of several variables on bond strength and bond-slip characteristics of reinforcement anchored or spliced or hooked in bond-critical regions of reinforced concrete structures. Variables include bar rib geometry, bar coating, bar galvanization, transverse reinforcement, specimen type and size, concrete strength, and the use of pozzolanic materials such as fly ash and silica fume. Other variables include the effect of fiber reinforcement added in the bond critical regions during casting and confinement of the bond critical regions with fiber reinforced polymer wraps.
  • Repair and Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Structures. Case studies of under-designed and cracked reinforced concrete structures. Case studies of the effect of fire, blasting, or earthquakes on reinforced concrete structures. Evaluation and assessment techniques. Methods of repair and strengthening.
  • Concrete Technology. Study of the effect of different variables on properties of fresh and hardened concrete including: cement type, pozzolanic materials and by-products, chemical admixtures, and industrial wastes. Concrete durability: chemical and physical attacks. High strength concrete. Self-compacting concrete. Study of the geology and the petrographic, chemical, and mechanical properties of aggregates.
  • Sustainable concrete construction materials: The use of natural fibers such as hemp to improve performance of construction components and reduce depletion in natural resources. The objective is to identify new materials or create novel cement/concrete mixes that encapsulate sustainable elements while satisfying strength and improving performance requirements such as durability and thermal properties. Study of the effect of replacing natural coarse aggregates with recycled coarse aggregates from tested cylinders in batching plants on the plastic & hardened mechanical properties of concrete and on the structural performance of reinforced concrete members.
