Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) Bridge Girders
UHPC, with its exceptional strength, durability, and crack resistance, presents a promising material for bridge applications, especially in resisting complex loading conditions.
The study aims to analyze the mechanisms governing shear behavior, including the role of fibers, the contribution of concrete and reinforcement, and failure modes under different loading scenarios.

Rectangular Reinforced Concrete Beam-Slab Systems
This study proposes a new design methodology for rectangular beam-slab systems based on yield line analysis by incorporating the effects of membrane action for different modes of failure.
Seismic Retrofitting of RC Framed Structures
Non-ductile RC buildings, especially open-ground storey configurations, often fail to meet seismic code compliance. This research adopts retrofitting strategies, including RC shear walls, to prevent premature failure and reduce collapse risks. Performance-based seismic design ensures the retrofit schemes meet code requirements.
Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete
Conventional glass fiber reinforced concrete suffers from reduced durability due to the poor alkali resistance of glass fibers. This study investigates the use of a sustainable coating to enhance the alkali resistance and bonding of glass fibers, thereby improving the strength and durability of GFRC.
Structural Behavior of 3D Printed Concrete
Understanding the structural behavior of 3D-printed concrete (3DPC) is a significant need as the technology continues to grow in construction. This study focuses on understanding how the unique manufacturing process influences the mechanical properties and performance of the material and structures built from it.
