Sustainable Infrastructure

加拿大可持续基础设施研究主席Pedram Sadeghian博士正在探索可应用于我们基础设施不同特征的可持续解决方案。他和他的研究团队正在使用先进的材料和创新的结构系统（如纤维增强聚合物复合材料）来修复现有的基础设施，并建造新的基础设施，这些基础设施将提供更长、更好的服务，同时减少对环境的影响。Sadeghian博士认为，探索具有成本效益，耐用的材料和创新的结构系统对加拿大经济至关重要，以确保我们建造的任何新基础设施都具有卓越的性能和耐用性。他的研究支持这一目标，同时也致力于延长现有基础设施组件的使用寿命，以便它们能够保持其服务水平并支持新的开发。

Dr. Pedram Sadeghian, Canada Research Chair in Sustainable Infrastructure, is exploring sustainable solutions that can be applied to different features of our infrastructure. He and his research team are using advanced materials and innovative structural systems (such as fiber-reinforced polymer composites) to rehabilitate existing infrastructure and build new infrastructure that will offer longer and better service along with less environmental impact. Dr. Sadeghian believes it is vital to Canada¿s economy that cost-effective, durable materials and innovative structural systems be explored to ensure that any new infrastructure we build offers superior performance and durability. His research is supporting this goal while also working to extend the useful lives of existing infrastructure components so they can maintain their service levels and support new developments.
