Development of a performance test method to evaluate effectiveness and service life of galvanic anodes used as part of repair systems and cathodic protection in reinforced concrete structures

One of the most challenging durability issues and causes of defects in reinforced concrete infrastructures is the corrosion of steel reinforcement, which leads to rust formation, cracking, spalling, delamination and degradation of structures (Popov, 2015 and Michael et al, 2016). Read more

Use of Fungi as a Means of Producing Concrete-Like Construction Materials

Concrete is one of the World’s most ubiquitous materials. It has achieved this through its versatility, durability and low cost. However, the manufacture of a key ingredient - Portland cement – contributes 4% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Read more

Use of Recovered Toner Powder to Enhance Durability, Engineering and Sustainability Performance of Structural Concrete Elements

The working life of reinforced/prestressed concrete elements is often determined by serviceability limit state which is governed by the movement of harmful moisture into the structure and propagating/initiating corrosion of steel reinforcement. Read more

Self Sensing reinforced concrete structural elements

  Research Group: Centre For Sustainable Environments
Self-sensing concrete has recently attracted major research attention and significant commercial interests, aiming to produce smart infrastructures with elegantly integrated health monitoring abilities. Read more

Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Stay In Place (SIP) formwork for structural concrete elements

  Research Group: Centre For Sustainable Environments
The concept of using FRP composites for structurally integrated stay-in-place (SIP) formwork for structural concrete elements maximizes the advantages of both FRP and concrete; not only can the high strength of FRP be utilized effectively, but also FRP profiles can serve as permanent formwork. Read more

Prediction of early-age cracking in structural concrete

Concrete structures are popularly used to provide open space areas that are often incorporated into the design of sports, social and industrial structures. Read more

Cement Replacement Strategies for High Density Concrete Radiation Shielding under Thermal and Impact Loads

Applications are invited for a self-funded, 3-year full-time or 6-year part time PhD project. The PhD will be based in the School of Civil Engineering & Surveying, and will be supervised by Dr Nikos Nanos, Dr David Begg and Dr Laurie Clough. Read more

Geopolymer reinforced concrete structural elements

  Research Group: Centre For Sustainable Environments
Geopolymers is an alkali-activated amorphous aluminosilicious cementitious material exhibiting the ideal properties of rock-forming minerals. Read more

Concrete under fire

Concrete remains one of the mostly widely used materials in the world and fundamental to society. However, it is also a huge contributor to greenhouse gas emissions representing 8% of global CO2 production. Read more

Light-weight High Performance Concrete for Floating Structures (FAC23/EE/MCE/BRABHA)

This is an exciting project, addressing the complex challenges posed by climate change and the need for sustainable infrastructure, developing light-weight high performance concrete (LWHPC) for modular floating structure through laboratory testing and lots of modelling. Read more

Multi-hazard earthquake-fire behaviour of concrete filled steel tubular columns

Our futuristic vision for Sustainable and Resilient Structures is one that has transparent expectations of structural performance against time, increased loads, environmental changes and natural disasters. Read more
