Research

During his doctoral candidacy, Dr. Zohrevand was also a research assistant. This was funded by the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation Research (NEESR).
It included the following research:
• Studying the seismic performance of structures made of advanced materials,
• Seismic design of hybrid structures made of advanced and conventional materials,
• Structural evaluation and monitoring of structures in high seismic regions,
• Stress analysis and developing the first stress-strain model of confined ultra-high performance concrete, and
• Evaluation of the structural integrity of the structures made of fiber-reinforced cementitious composites under earthquake loading
Dr. Zohrevand also has over 20 published peer-reviewed articles.
Some of them are as follow:

“Seismic Response of Ultra-High-Performance, Concrete-Filled FRP Tube Columns,” published in 2013 in the Journal of Earthquake Engineering.
“Stress-Strain Model of Ultra-High-Performance, Concrete-Confined by Fiber Reinforced Polymers,” published in 2013 in the Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering.
“Cyclic Behavior of Hybrid Columns Made of Ultra-High-Performance, Concrete- and Fiber Reinforced-Polymers,” published in 2012 in the Journal of Composites for Construction.
