Greetings from Clemson’s Glenn Department of Civil Engineering to our alumni, friends, students, and colleagues across the globe.  2020 has been anything but 2020.  We have gone through a lot in a single year.  From adapting to learning and discovery under the cloud of a pandemic to absorbing the severe financial impacts on our operations.  […]

Congratulations to Dr. Naser co-author of Structural Fire Engineering. This hands-on guide clearly explains the complex building codes and standards that relate to fire design and presents hands-on techniques engineers can apply to prevent or mitigate the effects of fire in structures. Dedicated chapters discuss specific procedures for steel, concrete, and timber buildings. You will […]

Dr. Rangaraju has served this summer (Summer 2020) as a Office of Naval Research Senior Faculty Fellow in collaboration with Researchers at Naval Facilities and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NavFac EXWC) to address the durability problems in Naval concrete infrastructure triggered by the presence of a Iron Sulfide mineral (Pyrrhotite) contamination in natural aggregate sources used […]

This spring, COVID-19 is bringing a new normal to all of us.  Virtually every educational institution, elementary school to university classroom has had to make changes in the way we complete our academic mission.  As most of you know, Clemson University is delivering course content online.  This decision was made to protect the health of […]

  Dr. Tuyen Le was awarded and NSF Grant to investigate a new wearable hearing protection technology that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to amplify safety-critical sounds and help locate their source, while greatly attenuating ambient noise. This Future of Work at the Human Technology Frontier project will create intelligent hearing protection devices (HPDs) for workers […]

Evacuations are protective actions involving the movement of people from a hazardous area to a safer location. Evacuation can be advised for numerous hazards, such as hurricanes, tsunamis, floods, wildfires, and nuclear power plant issues, which vary in the amount of warning available and the time available to prepare and travel to safety. This book […]

The department welcomes Zoraya Rockow to the civil engineering family starting full time this fall as a Lecturer. Ms. Rockow received her BSCE and MSCE from Clemson with an emphasis in construction and is currently working to complete her PhD in the Spring of 2020. Prior to her returning to Clemson, she worked as a Project […]

Dr. M. Z. Naser was recently published in the Progress of Materials Science journal, a top ranked journal in General Materials Science.   The paper is titled  Extraterrestrial Construction Materials, has been cited by several significant researchers in construction materials and definitely changes the spectrum of civil engineering research. Abstract In recognition of the 50th anniversary of the […]
