Centre for Infrastructural Monitoring and Protection

The Centre for Infrastructural Monitoring and Protection (CIMP) is built to focus, enhance and enrich the research strengths of Civil and Structural Engineering in Curtin University. It will embrace three research-program areas, namely:

  • Earthquake Engineering;
  • Blast and Impact Engineering; and
  • Structural Health Monitoring.

CIMP will target and solve such challenges across a broad range of important applications; e.g. climate change adaptation for civil infrastructure, hazard mitigation, structural condition monitoring, structural design to resist blast and earthquake loading, and structure rehabilitation and protection.

Professor Hong Hao

Hong Hao

Professor Hong Hao’s research focuses on earthquake engineering, blast and impact engineering and structural health monitoring. His work aims to develop both new and upgraded structures that can withstand short-duration, high-impact blast loads. Professor Hao is also investigating newer materials, including Carbon FRP, Glass FRP and various polymers to increase the strength, ductility and energy absorption capability of structures.
