Civil Engineering - Smart Structures

Research Focus:

Traditional technologies in structures and construction are inefficient in both their uses of materials and labour, often accompanied by massive consumption of energy and natural resources resulting in environmental sacrifice.

This research addresses these challenges through the development of advanced structural materials, innovative design concepts, and smart construction technologies. The arrival of fibre reinforced polymer composites and engineering nano-composites opens a new opportunity to make lighter, stronger and more durable civil structures.

This also embraces an integration design approach where structural components can serve multiple functions. Modern modular construction further facilitates a switch from on-site prototype operation to made-to-measure production with reduced environmental impact.

Vision
