Investigating fracture mechanics of concrete. Topics of investigation include: using the molten metal alloy injection method to investigate fractures of concrete, application of stereology to analyze compressive stress-induced microcracks in concrete, fracture analysis of concrete using scanning electron microscopy, effect of confinement on the fracture behavior of concrete under compression, and development of micromechanical models to simulate crack growth in concrete.
Professor Nemati received his Ph.D. in civil engineering from the University of California at Berkeley in December 1994, where he was also a research fellow until August 1998. His Ph.D. thesis is entitled: "Generation and Interaction of Compressive Stress-Induced Microcracks in Concrete". His other graduate degrees are: Master of Science in civil engineering (Environmental Engineering); Master of Engineering in civil engineering (Geotechnical and Construction Engineering); and Master of City and Regional Planning (Urban Transportation Planning). He was a visiting research fellow at the Imperial College of Science, Technology, and Medicine in London, England in 1992-93, and at Aalborg University in Denmark in 1996. He has more than fourteen years of consulting engineering experience mostly with ICF Kaiser Engineers, Inc. and Testing Engineers, Inc. in Oakland California. He was elected to the grade of Fellow at the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1996, and has published over 25 papers in various technical journals and conference proceedings.
