Structural and Materials Engineering

Members of Ohio State's structural and materials engineering faculty are focused in several research areas, including:

• CAE, smart bridges and structures, large-scale numerical modeling
• Static/dynamic characterization of composite materials
• Analytical modeling and experimental evaluation of reinforced concrete structures, seismic loading, evaluation/retrofit methods
• Performance enhancement of complex systems and critical infrastructures against extreme hazard scenarios
• Soil-structure interaction and geomechanical modeling
• Beneficial use of coal fly ash
