Research: Civil Infrastructure protection and management
The Civil Infrastructure Protection & Management Group was established in 2009. Similar to the Department of Infrastructure, the group brings the theme of sustainability and safety to the forefront of every research project they take on.
The group focuses on five key areas of research:
- Structural Engineering
- Geotechnical Engineering
- Management
- Energy efficiency in buildings
- Integrated transport.
Disaster Management is a good example of how these areas are linked. The group works with industry and government agencies regularly to ensure buildings are sustainable, protected from blasts and that the safety of cities is not comprised, in the event of a disaster.
