Areas of expertise: Masonry, Disaster resilient materials
I am interested in developing disaster resilient materials and masonry structures. This is important for sustainability and longevity of structures and their protection from disasters such as storms, collisions and earthquakes. My work aims to benefit the community through resilient buildings by saving lives and reducing damages in the disasters.
Projects
- Development of an auxetic embedded concrete block for resilient masonry
- Effect of reinforcement on performance of masonry and concrete shear walls
- Investigation on in-plane behaviour of masonry walls made of mortarless interlocking concrete blocks
- Mitigating vehicular crashes into building using new materials technology and advanced modelling techniques
- Use of Materials Technology to Mitigate the Adverse Effects of Bomb Explosions in Transport Tunnels
