About
Nouman Khattak

Nouman Khattak’s research focuses on the seismic retrofit of unreinforced masonry building facades using fibre reinforced polymer composites. Research outcomes will provide experimental and numerical evidence on the seismic performance of masonry facades (parapet and gable walls) with and without retrofit. Test results and numerical studies outcomes are anticipated to assist structural engineers and design practitioners in better understanding the response of unreinforced masonry facades with different types of fibre reinforced polymer retrofitting. This research will give confidence to practicing engineers to apply a retrofit technique to protect buildings against future earthquakes. General conclusions of the work will include recommendations for application of the developed guidelines and for future studies.

Nouman is a highly motivated structural engineer with more than 10 years’ experience in industry, academia and research. He has been involved in designing a wide range of buildings, dams and infrastructure projects from feasibility and concept through to final detailed design and construction.
