Research Interests
Fire-structure interaction, Reinforced concrete structures. Evaluation of structural aspects of fire safety in buildings by using experimental work and computer modeling. Identification of the fire hazard in buildings by analyzing thermal response of structures and fire resistance of building elements under different fire scenarios; and finally developing performance-based Fire-Structural designs, design fires and fire scenarios in buildings using modeling (computational fluid dynamics–zone modeling) approach. Currently investigating new research opportunities in Canada, under the general theme of how the integration of building information models with fire simulation software can improve the understanding of fire-damaged structures and behavior of structural and combustible materials under actual use conditions.
