Charles Kwame Kankam
The researcher's research focuses on advancing the mechanical properties and durability of concrete through innovative applications of advanced materials such as steel bars, glass fiber reinforcement, pavement systems (e.g., fiber-reinforced polymers GFRP and glass fiber-reinforced polymers GFRP), and agricultural waste. The work emphasizes sustainable construction practices and the use of reprocessed materials like palm kernel shells and burnt sawdust ashes to enhance concrete's performance while reducing environmental impact.
