Interests:
Dr. Kodur's research has focused on the evaluation of fire resistance of structural
systems through large scale fire experiments (using advanced experimental
techniques) and numerical modelling; characterization of the materials
under high temperature (constitutive modeling); performance based fire
safety design of structures, non-linear design and analysis of concrete
and steel structural systems and building collapse investigations.
