About

Dr. Karthikeyan Kothanda is a leading researcher in advanced construction materials and structural engineering, with a focus on the behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites and their integration with cementitious systems. His most cited work, "Behavior of Pultruded Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Beam-Columns Infilled with Engineered Cementitious Composites under Cyclic Loading" (2022, 31 citations), represents a significant contribution to understanding how GFRP—a material prized for its corrosion resistance, high strength-to-weight ratio, and fatigue strength—performs under dynamic stresses. By exploring the synergistic effects of infilling GFRP sections with engineered cementitious composites, Dr. Kothanda has advanced the development of durable, lightweight structural elements for seismic and infrastructure applications. His research bridges material science and structural behavior, offering practical insights for resilient building design. With a growing citation record, Dr. Kothanda’s work is increasingly recognized for its potential to transform construction practices, particularly in environments where traditional materials fail. His achievements highlight a commitment to innovation in sustainable, high-performance structural systems.
