Building Repair and Rejuvenation.

I think that there is a lot of scope for this topic in future. This will definitely be a great topic in research to rejuvenate the old buildings for which design life is completed and for buildings of historical importance.

The scope of the concrete structures is wide. I can suggest you to work on thermal properties for lightweight concrete. EC2. 1.2 still miss it.

Could develop work on the differences between the solid and shell elements to analyze and design cap piles.

Theme: "Light composites of high strength and durability".

Any topic related to the aspect of ecology in construction.

You can work on any topic related to Soil Structure Interaction, in which there are lot of gray areas...

Best Luck..!!!

See attached and hope it helps. Good luck

Topics related with the implication of fiber optics in concrete stability reinforcement has high scopes in future. Furthermore, you can try out topics related to finite elements as well.

hello , i think building safety against fire , or decreasing risks due to fire by using special type of concrete , this can be achieved by using waste ceramic as fine and coarse aggregate , then studying reinforced concrete samples exposed to high temperatures such as 400 ,600,800 ,1000 centigrade and comparing ordinary concrete with concrete containing ceramic aggregates , and you can also study HSC and other types with and without ceramics.... with best wishes

You can work on the fatigue performance of steel-concrete composite structures.

Dear Shimol Philip . The topics including :

• Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures.
• Concrete Engineering Using Advanced or Recycled Materials Including Use of 3D Printing.
• Steel and Composite Structures.
• Earthquake Engineering.
• Tsunami Engineering.
• Accelerated Bridge Construction.
• Advanced Numerical Simulation and Computational Mechanics.
