Dr. G.C. Cai (Ph.D.)
Principle Investigator, Lab. for High performance and sustainable building materials and structures
Dr. Cai's research activities range from structural design and building materials (durability and sustainability), which forms two themes of his research, i.e., the safety of structures under extreme loadings (e.g. earthquake); and reuse and recycling of building wastes arising from the extreme loads, in particular applications of the wastes in concrete industries. His research has been conducted using advanced numerical methods, algebraic analysis, and experimental verification. Dr. Cai is performing many collaborations with international leading academic partners and local industry partners.
