Department Of Civil Engineering

Research Clusters

  • The Department of Civil Engineering has proposed to develop a research cluster “Sustainable Built Environment”, under the guidance of Prof. (Dr.) Sunita Bansal.
  • Prof. (Dr.) Anjali Gupta is an active member of Research Cluster “Environ Audit and Health”.
  • A Research Group entitled “Structural Assessment” had been formed under the leadership of Dr. Ashish Shukla, Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering.

In the Field of Structural Civil Engineering, major research areas under this specialization include structural dynamics, bridge engineering, wind induced vibration & control, non-destructive techniques, passive and semi-active control of buildings, performance based seismic design, system identification & structural health monitoring, seismic damage assessment, finite element mesh generation, optimization, retrofitting of structures, spectral finite element methods, structural reliability, fluid-structure interaction, seismic analysis of concrete dam, cost-effective housing.

In the Transportation Field major research areas under this specialization include characterization of pavement materials, precast concrete block pavement, cast-in-situ concrete block pavement, pavement design, structural and functional evaluation of pavements, traffic engineering and issues related to road safety.

Smart construction materials, which are also known as intelligent materials, active materials and, adoptive materials, are those that have the capability to respond to changes in their condition or the environment to which they are exposed, in a useful and controlled manner.

The input that causes the change in smart material properties may be in the form of mechanical stress / strain, electrical / magnetic field or changes in temperature, moisture, pH, and light. Their unique properties make them a crucial material in many fields of engineering and science. They are used in civil engineering projects and contribute to increasing performance, comfortability, and energy efficiency of structures.

Smart materials have different properties that can be changed according to the conditions in a controlled way by external factors, such as temperature, light, stress, moisture, electric or magnetic fields, pH or chemical compounds.

These are also known as intelligent or responsive materials. Their unique properties make them crucial materials in many fields of engineering. They are used in various civil engineering projects and contribute to increased performance and energy efficiency of a structure. With the advancement of technology and research, new materials have been developed and new types of smart materials have been introduced.
