Research title: Less-Disruptive RC Column Retrofit Method
Main supervisor: Santiago Pujol
Co-supervisor: Chris McGann
Associate supervisor: Julian Rincon
Research interests: My research focuses on less-disruptive seismic retrofit methods for reinforced concrete (RC) columns. I aim to design practical and efficient retrofit method that enhance the shear and drift capacities of existing RC structures while minimizing disruption to occupants and building use during implementation.
