Overview
The socio-economic stability of every nation relies on safety, reliability and sustainability of each nation’s infrastructures and this is only possible with the help of resilient infrastructures. With the ongoing demand of managing aging infrastructures and developing new ones to meet the growing population, whilst minimising impact on climate change there is an urgent need for resilient materials. This, in turn, helps to create resilient infrastructure.
Our research will mainly focus on developing a strategy for resilient infrastructures made up of low carbon and energy efficient construction materials through laboratory, numerical and theoretical techniques and propose design guidelines for designers, policy makers, practitioners, researchers etc
