Vahid Sadeghian

Dr. Vahid Sadeghian's research program is focused on the development and application of advanced simulation methods for performance assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Aging infrastructure deterioration is affected by many factors which require advanced analysis and design tools to predict vulnerabilities with a goal towards resilience and sustainable communities. Using advanced modeling tools and procedures and multi-disciplinary methods Dr. Sadeghian's work embraces multi-disciplinary methods and creative solutions. At CSALT this has included research on lateral loads in 3Dprinted concrete structures, bringing Masters and PhD students together to collectively reimagine housing prototypes using this technology in combination with bio-based and complimentary material layers. His methodology includes state-of-the-art hybrid (experimental-numerical) simulation methods.
