Research Aims

My research aims to reduce the environmental impact of the construction sector by exploring the development of mix designs that incorporate supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and alternative fillers, such as recycled aggregate (RA). While the immediate environmental benefits of these innovative concrete mixtures can be readily assessed, achieving a comprehensive view of sustainability necessitates accurate predictions of the service life of reinforced concrete elements.

The durability of reinforced concrete is significantly influenced by the infiltration of chloride ions, which can induce corrosion in the steel reinforcement, ultimately compromising the structural integrity and limiting the lifespan of a structure. Therefore, the reliable prediction of service life—and by extension, the whole-life sustainability of reinforced concrete structures—requires a precise understanding of the diffusion rates of chloride ions across various concrete mixtures.

I am deeply committed to environmental sustainability in reinforced concrete structures and and utilising fracture mechanics concepts to gain deeper insights into crack behavior and enhance the predictive modeling of reinforced concrete performance.
