Mohammad Asad's full profile, contact information and publications are available on:
Doctor of Philsophy (Queensland University of Technology)
Background: Dr Mohammad Asad is a post-doctoral research fellow at QUT, currently working on an ARC Discovery Project on mitigating vehicular crashes into masonry buildings. The mitigation strategy uses new materials technology to prevent vehicular intrusion into the building and minimise the harm to building and vehicle occupants. He has expertise in the use of new genre materials such as auxetics and FPP for enhancing structure performance under extreme loadings and dynamic computer modelling. Asad has disseminated his research through several Q1 Journal papers. Prior to joining QUT, he was Assistant Professor in Civil Engineering at AMU Aligarh (India). He teaches and tutored design of concrete and masonry structures to the undergraduates at QUT. He also has 1 years of professional experience in the areas of concrete design, steel structures and concrete building design. Research achievements Research Fellow on one of the prestigious Discovery project ($415,000) granted by Australian Research Council (ARC) for a period of three years. Since 2017 Supervising many undergraduate candidates for their final year thesis. Research areas: Within the broad field of structural engineering research, Asad has focused on the following areas:- Unreinforced masonry wall subject to Impact loading
- Masonry behaviour under different strain rates
- Reinforced masonry and concrete shear walls
- Unreinforced and Reinforced masonry under seismic/cyclic loading
- Auxetic materials and composites with concrete/mortar and their application to structures
