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
Novel heated permeable concrete infrastructure for the built environment
Primary supervisor, Imperial College London. Dr. Alalea Kia. Co-supervisor, Imperial College London. Dr. David M G Taborda. Overview. 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
Development and performance improvement of structural concrete using reused aggregate
Research Group:
Centre For Sustainable Environments
Concrete is one of the most used construction materials in construction practice overall world. Aggregate is the main constituent material for concrete and it affects the concrete properties significantly. 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
Ph.D. Fellowship on ‘Reducing the carbon footprint of cement through the CO2 mineralization of recycled concrete’– Grenoble (France)
We are looking for a candidate for a Ph.D. fellowship application in the field of mineralogy and mineral trapping of CO2 in recycled concrete. 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
3D-printable fibre-reinforced low-carbon concrete for additive construction
3D concrete printing (3DCP) can allow freeform construction without the use of expensive formwork, but the current progress is limited by the range of printable concretes and reinforcing methods. Read more
Development of low-carbon and low-cost textile reinforced concrete
Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is a cementitious composite material where textile materials (e.g., carbon or glass fabric) are embedded as reinforcement. Read more
The Use of Shape Memory Alloys to Enhance the Behaviour of Framed Concrete Structures
The School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering has seen 100% of its research impact rated as ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, underlining the wide-ranging positive impacts that our research has on the world (REF, 2021). Read more

PhD position in TransFIRe: Dematerialisation of cement and concrete
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
Achieving a sustainable circular economy will require that we “dematerialise” many systems of provision. We must drastically reduce the amount of physical material that we currently use to provide goods and services. Read more
Development of low-cost ultra-high performance low-carbon concrete
According to the Portland Cement Association (PCA), ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is ‘‘a high-strength, ductile material formulated by combining Portland cement, silica fume, quartz flour, fine silica sand, high range water reducer, water, and steel or organic fibres. Read more
Parameters Affecting the Stiffness and Ductility of Reinforced Concrete joints under Cycling Loading
The School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering has seen 100% of its research impact rated as ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, underlining the wide-ranging positive impacts that our research has on the world (REF, 2021). Read more
