Summary

Current research work involves experimental testing of structures and proving/developing analytical techniques for simulating structural behavior or designing structural elements. Recent work has focussed on earthquake resistance of precast concrete systems, especially precast shear walls and diaphragm performance and rigidity as influenced by connections. Current work is aimed at developing improved methods for highway bridge design and rapid construction to improve work zone safety and reduce impact on the travelling public. This includes use of innovative FRP reinforcing and forming systems, precasting bridge deck elements, building bridge decks without reinforcing, developing standard precast bridge substructure systems and building totally precast bridge structures. The newest focus of my interest is in sustainable construction and particular in energy efficient buildings and sustainable construction materials.

Ongoing research:

All precast bridge systems; Precast bridge substructures; Anchorage region cracking in prestressed bridge girders; FRP connections between precast components; Overload vehicle (500k) effects on bridges; Precast approach slabs for highway bridges.
