The Kim Group for Structures Research

Our primary research interest includes the development of sustainable structural systems using advanced materials and corresponding analysis. Extensive experimental and computational endeavors have been expended to study the behavior of structural members subjected to physical or environmental loads. Our research bridges the gap between fundamental scientific knowledge and practical engineering application. Specific goal of our research is to understand complex structural responses and material characteristics, resulting in  globally acceptable predictive models.
