Dr Saim Raza

Dr Saim Raza employed experimental, numerical and empirical methods to evaluate the seismic resilience of high-strength reinforced concrete columns constructed in high-rise buildings in Australia. This project investigated collapse performance of limited ductile high-strength reinforced concrete columns through experimental testing under uniaxial, biaxial and triaxial seismic loading. The research outcomes are expected
to have important implications for the earthquake safety of building stocks in Australia and globally.

Saim currently works as a postdoctoral researcher at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, Empa.
