Sustainable Infrastructure

加拿大的基础设施正面临恶化和结构性缺陷，其中相当一部分急需修复。探索可持续的材料和结构体系，以确保新结构具有优越的性能和耐久性，并延长现有结构的使用寿命，这对该国的经济至关重要。Sadehian博士正在探索可以应用于我们基础设施的不同功能的解决方案，使用先进的材料和创新的结构系统，特别是使用纤维增强聚合物复合材料修复现有基础设施，并建立使用寿命更长的新系统。

Canadas infrastructure is facing deterioration and structural deficiencies and a significant number of them are in urgent need of rehabilitation. It is vital to the economy of the country that sustainable materials and structural systems be explored to ensure that new structures possess superior performance and durability and extend service life of the existing structures. Dr. Sadeghian is exploring solutions that can be applied for different features of our infrastructure using advanced materials and innovative structural systems, in particular, using fiber reinforced polymer composites for rehabilitation of existing infrastructure and for building new systems with longer service life.
