Dr. Okumus’ research advances infrastructure resiliency and longevity. She focuses on structures and systems that can be rapidly built, repaired, replaced, and reoccupied after extreme loading or environmental deterioration over their life cycle. These structures are enabled by low-seismic damage systems, prefabricated and modular construction, and high-performance materials. Dr. Okumus is particularly interested in applications of these concepts to pre-tensioned, post-tensioned, and reinforced concrete components. Both bridge and building systems are investigated.
