Research summary
AI-generated

Akanshu Sharma works on the structural engineering of reinforced concrete, focusing on how concrete structures behave under difficult conditions such as earthquakes, fire, and heavy loads. Much of the work examines connections and fasteners in concrete (like anchors, bonded bars, and beam-column joints) and how to strengthen or repair existing structures, including bridges and buildings not originally designed for seismic loading. The research combines physical laboratory testing with computer simulations to develop practical design guidance for engineers.

Publication output peaked around 2019 and has generally declined since, settling to a lower but steady rate of roughly 5-6 papers per year in the last five years.
