  Research focus:"Development of Acceptance test methods related to performance and durability of Pervious concrete", as till date only few dedicated test methods are available to assess pervious concrete. As pervious concrete is structurally different from conventional concrete pavements, more new standards need to be developed to make specifications that are usable in northern climates, where freeze thaw cycling and winter maintenance are major concerns. Main focus of my research is to develop test methods that can be used for field application."Determination of Performance of Pervious concrete pavement at Courtcliffe Park, City of Hamilton"- Mostly drainage performance and surface condition of the park were monitored for continuous three years. The drainage data were collected through the moisture gauges which were installed at the time of pavement construction."Evaluation of Strength and abrasion resistance of Pervious concrete mixes Using different types of cements (GU, GUL and Nano cement)"- Pervious concrete samples were cast with three different types of Cement and a comparison in strength and abrasion resistance was determined. Show less Involved in Project: "Development of Acceptance test methods related to performance and durability of Pervious concrete", which is a Highway Infrastructure Innovation Funding Program (HIIFP). This research project is a funded by Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) and support from other industry partners (Cement Association of Canada, Lafarge, The Sarjeant Co. Ltd, BASf) are also appreciated. Other than this project I was also involved in Project : "Determination of Performance of Pervious Concrete Pavement at Courtcliff Park, City of Hamilton" and"Evaluation of Strength and abrasion resistance of Pervious concrete mixes Using different types of cements (GU, GUL and Nano cement)".
