Description

Eco-friendly ultra-high performance concrete in protective structures. Modern buildings and infrastructure are facing challenges from natural and man-made disasters, and structural safety is jeopardized by hazardous blasts and fire scenarios. This project aims to understand concrete material and structural behavior under the combined blast and fire loads and develop structural protective measures. Expected outcomes include an in-depth understanding of structural dynamic response and failure mechanisms under coupled blast and temperature effects and a protective measure based on ultra-high-performance concrete with multi-hazard resistance and low embodied carbon. Successful delivery of this project will benefit the construction sector in Australia and the international community.. Scheme: ARC Future Fellowships. Field: 4005 - Civil Engineering.
