Work History
Research Assistant
Washington State University
Pullman, USA
05.2024 - Current
- My research investigates the behavior of long-span timber-concrete composite (TCC) floor systems, with a focus on analyzing composite action in both positive and negative moment regions.
- This study marks the first in-depth evaluation of TCC systems at this level in the U.S. It involves both analytical and finite element modeling, supported by a full-scale experimental program consisting of nine 4ftx28ft specimens for validation. The research is backed by $110,000 in funding from various sources.
