Evaluating and testing of FRP reinforcements for concrete structures (including tensile, creep, fatigue, flexural and bond properties at ambient and cold/elevated temperatures )
Applications of FRP tendons as pre-and post-tensioning (mechanical and bonded anchorages, bond of FRP tendons to concrete/cement paste, creep and relaxation)
Durability studies of GFRP and CFRP reinforcements (stress corrosion, load-environment effects, accelerated tests, effect of resins and manufacturing processes, effect of thermal cycling, life-time prediction, etc)
Microstructure analysis studies in order to understand the degradation mechanism of FRP and hence indicate the way to improve the FRP durability
Structural behaviour of concrete members (beams, slabs, bridge decks) reinforced with GFRP or CFRP reinforcements (experimental and analytical studies)
Monitoring the behaviour of structures reinforced with FRP using fiber optic sensor technology (integration of fiber optic sensors in FRP reinforcements for laboratory and field monitoring)
Field studies of FRP reinforced concrete structures: (i) Bridge decks, and (ii) Other applications (implementation of FRP reinforcement technique in the field of bridge decks, barriers, parking garages, underground precast concrete chambers, etc.).
