Our research focuses on the innovative use of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials for reinforcing concrete structures, such as beams, short and slender columns. Our work investigates the structural behavior of FRP-reinforced concrete members under various loading conditions, while exploring various reinforcement configurations. Through a combination of experimental testing and computer simulations, we aim to optimize the performance of these structural components, contributing to the development of more resilient, durable, and sustainable infrastructure solutions.

Given the significant environmental impacts of cement production and the need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, our lab is focused on investigating the effects of potential cement alternatives and carbon-negative materials on the macro- and micro-properties of cementitious composites. Currently, our primary focus is on reusing and optimizing the dosage of waste materials, including recycled gypsum drywall, biochar, and hydrochar, in sustainable cement-based composites.

Our research integrates sustainable concrete technology with advanced structural systems to address both environmental and engineering challenges. We investigate the mechanical behavior of concrete-filled 卤55藲 glass fiber-reinforced polymer (卤55藲 CFFT) tubes using a combination of experimental testing, finite element modeling, and analytical methods. We develop design tools to better understand and predict their structural performance. To enhance sustainability, we utilize low-carbon, gypsum-modified concrete incorporating recycled gypsum, fly ash, and slag to significantly reduce cement content. We also examine the confinement effect of 卤55藲 GFRP tubes on this sustainable concrete to mitigate early-age strength loss and evaluate compressive behavior under both monotonic and cyclic loading.
