Structural Materials
Coordinator: Professor Wei Sha
Advanced material processing technology, characterisation of materials, testing, monitoring and modelling both the microstructure and behaviour are essential for developing new construction materials which are not only safe, strong and durable, but also contribute to the sustainable development of the Built Environment infrastructure. These topics are dealt with within this theme. Topics of current research and staff who contribute currently to these topics are listed below. Further information on research topics can be obtained by clicking on research topics and expertise of staff who are contributing to the topics can be obtained by clicking on the staff name.
