The researcher's work is centered on advancing the understanding and application of reinforced concrete structures across various domains. Their focus includes bamboo properties for sustainable construction, which they integrate into self-compacting concrete beams, enhancing durability and resilience in rural areas. Through finite element modeling and machine learning techniques, they analyze the behavior of bamboo-reinforced concrete beams under different loading conditions, such as one-way slabs and beams with 100% recycled coarse aggregate. Their research also delves into the structural integrity of these beams, contributing to sustainable construction practices. Additionally, they employ empirical joint shear strength models to predict structural failure in laterally loaded RC columns. The researcher's work extends beyond concrete structures by incorporating energy-efficient materials like graphite and advanced radiation studies for nuclear technology. Structural health monitoring techniques, including predictive behavior modeling with finite element analysis, are also explored. Their research contributes significantly to both sustainable construction practices and the development of innovative concrete reinforcement materials.
