What are some good research topics in civil engineering for a PhD?
What are the latest research topics in civil engineering?
Based on my specific specialization, structural engineering and earthquake engineering, I would say one big area of research is Performance Based Design. But there are so many others. You would be able to understand the variety by looking up the different Journals of American Society of Civil Engineers. Other journals from Elsevier, John Wiley and many more also give you an understanding of the choices.
But the topic you want to pursue must match your previous education, your strengths and weaknesses, availability of guide(s) and availability of material resources (such as experimental facilities, software tools).

sorry no idea about it,as i belongs to electrical engineering...
This depends on the specific specialization within the general specialization (civil engineering). Most often, the master's study is the basis for the doctoral study.
As a civil engineer in my bachelor, studies M.Sc. Environmental process eng. and look forward to pursue in the direction of WASTE (waste water and solid waste)! what i enjoy is these issues are new for most of countries and possibility to focus on via many aspects. BR

Since you are based in Iraq, I would choose a locally available waste material to be used as a sustainable (or novel) construction material: for example:
1) The use of palm tree ash in construction (concrete or brick); you can test their strength, durability, etc.
2) Use of southern marshes bush ash for the same purpose
3) Utilizing any locally available agricultural waste ash (I believe its abundant in your area) as a construction additive for roads or concrete buildings
You can prove the viability of 1), 2), 3) through strength, durability and leaching tests. You can also use a powerful numerical technique; FEM, DEM, etc. with your tests
All the best.
