Rate My Professor Reza Hassanli

Dr. Reza Hassanli is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Civil Engineering and Construction within the College of Engineering and Information Technology at Adelaide University, a role he has held since 2022. Prior to this appointment, he served as a Lecturer at the University of South Australia from 2011 to 2021. He obtained his PhD in Structural Engineering from the University of South Australia between 2011 and 2015. His academic career has been dedicated to advancing knowledge in civil and structural engineering through rigorous research and teaching.

Reza Hassanli's research specializations include cement and concrete materials, civil engineering, composite and hybrid materials, structural engineering, waste management, reduction, reuse, and recycling, green concrete, behaviour of precast concrete members, structural dynamics and seismic behaviour of composite and concrete structures, seismic rehabilitation of bridges and buildings, post-tensioned systems, FRP reinforced concrete, structural dynamics and seismic behavior of structures, seismic rehabilitation of structures, repairing and retrofitting of bridges and buildings, and the application and behavior of fiber composite materials in structures. He has contributed significantly to the literature with key publications such as the book Behavior of unbounded post-tensioned masonry walls (Springer, 2019); Performance of segmental self-centering rubberized concrete columns under different loading directions (Journal of Building Engineering, 2018, co-authored with O. Youssf, J. E. Mills, R. Karim, and T. Vincent); An experimental investigation of the mechanical performance and structural application of LECA-Rubcrete (Construction and Building Materials, 2018, with O. Youssf, J. E. Mills, and M. Abd Elrahman); Seismic performance of precast posttensioned segmental FRP-confined and unconfined crumb rubber concrete columns (Journal of Composites for Construction, 2017); In-plane flexural strength of unbonded post-tensioned concrete masonry walls (Engineering Structures, 2017, with M. A. ElGawady and J. E. Mills); Simplified approach to predict the flexural strength of self-centering masonry walls (Engineering Structures, 2017, with M. A. ElGawady and J. E. Mills); and Experimental and numerical study on the behavior of rubberized concrete (Advances in Civil Engineering Materials, 2017, with O. Youssf, J. Mills, D. Li, and T. Benn). These works demonstrate his expertise in developing sustainable, resilient structural systems.
