Overview
The main goal of Advanced and Sustainable Infrastructure Materials (ASIM) research group is to enhance durability, resilience, and sustainability of civil engineering infrastructure through materials related research. The research areas that we are mainly interested are (1) development of advanced, novel, and sustainable construction materials, and (2) enhancing the durability and resilience of concrete infrastructure using advanced materials characterization, monitoring, and nondestructive techniques.
Developing and exploring multifunctional self-healing concrete, lightweight aggregate from coal combustion ash, geopolymer concrete, phase change materials, advanced cementitious materials, and carbonated calcium silicate concrete for carbon sequestration are examples of our research activities. |
