    In this episode, Maithili Ghadge, podcast host, talks with Raghavendra. Raghavendra Vasudeva Upadhyaya (Rag) has completed his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Civil Engineering from Central Queensland University, Australia and demonstrated significant experience as a project facilitator in the highly complex private and public-sector environment. Over the years, Rag has worked in several leadership roles where he has honed his technical competencies in structural design and project management at the interface of advanced engineering. In this episode, Rag will be discussing an innovative and sustainable mineral-based composite bonder that can be used for FRP-concrete rehabilitation. Raghavendra talks about the damage in concrete due to natural and human imposed conditions, reconstruction and rehabilitation, the current state of the art for concrete structures, and the FRP technique. He also shares some insights on his research about concrete damage. Tune in to learn more on this and other exciting topics! Timestamps [00:43] Damaging concrete structures due to natural and human imposed conditions [02:50] Reconstruction and rehabilitation, which one is better for a structural life period? [04:45] Current state of the art for concrete structures [07:54] The FRP technique [13:15] Raghavendra’s research on concrete damage [16:59] Raghavendra’s conclusion Quotes ● Concrete has played a big role in the construction industry for more than 25 decades. ● Concrete is vulnerable and susceptible to damage. Its materials properties will be superior initially but deteriorate over time. ● As civil and structural engineers, we are responsible for thinking about innovative and sustainable strategies to develop and build concrete structures. ● Aramid fibres are used in the making of bulletproofs. It is a tough and strong fibre re-enforced fibres. Resource links Environmental deterioration of concrete Causes of concrete damage
