RESEARCH INTERESTS

 There are four major areas of research interests I have developed during various stages of my research career:

 1.     Bond between Concrete and reinforcing bars 

         It includes studies on bond in cases of normal and high strength concrete, steel and FRP reinforcing bars.

 2.     Strengthening of reinforced concrete members with Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Sheets 

         The strengthening of reinforced concrete columns, beams and Slabs are studied.

 3.     Lightweight concrete

        Slabs, columns and beams made of lightweight concrete have been investigated.

 4.     Modal Test

    Studies on Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Members using Modal Test.
