Research Interests

Concrete Material Properties and Concrete Maturity

Post-Tensioned Prestressed Concrete Deformation Prediction

High Strength/Performance Concrete

Confinement of Concrete Columns

Post-Tensioned Confinement of High-Strength Concrete

Research Project

Masters by Research Project (completed in 2008) involved predicting deformations of partially prestressed suspended slabs. Concrete material property development and the effect of varying in situ factors such as curing conditions and timing of prestress application were examined.

PhD Project (commenced in October 2008) involves examining the behaviour and design of FRP confined high strength concrete columns.
