Research into Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Connections

Since I have started this blog there have been one or two emails asking about my "previous life" studying for a PhD between 1996 and 1999.

I've dusted off my old MS Word files and exported a few of them to PDF.

Selected chapters from my PhD:

• Abstract
• Publications List
• Introduction
• Conclusions
• Recommendations for Further Work

Papers that were published:

• 1998 - Oxford Conference
• 1999 - Durham Conference
• 1999 - American Concrete Institute
• 1999 - Dundee Conference

And a couple of photographs:

The test rig with specimen ready - I think I made and destroyed around 70 of these!
