Research Interests
Dr Seracino's primary research area is the application of advanced fiber reinforced
polymers (FRP) in civil engineering, particularly in the development of ductile
FRP systems for the rehabilitation or strengthening of existing infrastructure.
Other research interests include the partial-interaction assessment of composite
steel-concrete members, and the behavior of high strength/performance materials.
His research includes large-scale laboratory testing, and analytical and numerical
modeling.
