PhD in Civil Engineering - Structural Engineering, Materials, and Sustainability in Pullman United States | Washington State University

Research in structural engineering combines computational modeling with physical experiments to enhance structural performance. The materials program focuses on creating eco-friendly materials, especially polymers, composites, and nanomaterials. These bio-based materials are studied from multiple perspectives, including chemical composition, production methods, and mechanical properties.
Key research areas encompass: Performance and Engineering of Wood-Based Structural Elements and Assemblies, Development and Production of Engineered Wood Composites, Analysis and Construction of Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete and Masonry Buildings, Computational Structural Mechanics and Finite Element Methods, Dynamic Structural Response, Seismic Engineering and Infrastructure Enhancement, Risk Assessment and Probabilistic Structural Design, Non-Inspecting Testing of Construction Materials and Systems
