Research Aims

My research focusses on sustainable engineering practices and is primarily centered on providing the experimental results and material designs necessary to transition the concrete industry to a circular economy. This can be done through material reuse, prolonged material service life or other sustainable methods. Current experimental research activities include;

  • The use and optimisation of single (RAC) and multi-generation recycled aggregate concrete (MGRAC)
    • Mix design
    • Physical and mechanical performance
    • Durability, both time dependent and under varying chemical exposure
    • Material shear friction and reinforced concrete (RC) shear performance
    • Flexural performance of RC members
    • Tension stiffening and related mechanisms
    • Life cycle assessment
  • Suplementary cementitous material development and characterisation
  • long term creep and shrinkage behaviour of ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) 

I have a passion for environmental sustainability in the build environment and hope to assist in the industrial application of these more sustainable materials and methods.
