Dr. Saravanakumar at Sri Krishna College of Engineering and Technology | India
P. Saravanakumar is an accomplished civil engineering researcher whose work has significantly advanced sustainable construction materials, recycled aggregate technology, and concrete durability. With a strong publication record and over 900 citations, his research spans treated recycled aggregates, high-volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete, slag-based mixes, geopolymer systems, structural behavior, and smart-sensing cement composites. His highly cited studies, including Properties of Treated Recycled Aggregates and Its Influence on Concrete Strength Characteristics and Effect of Admixed Recycled Aggregate Concrete on Properties of Fresh and Hardened Concrete, have shaped current understanding of performance-enhanced recycled aggregate concrete and its role in sustainable infrastructure. His contributions extend to durability assessment, microstructural enhancement, and treatment techniques for improving recycled aggregate quality, with notable works on mechanical behavior, slag integration, shear cracking in reinforced concrete beams, and hybrid fiber systems. More recent publications reflect his evolving interest in innovative materials, such as carbon-black-based self-sensing composites for structural health monitoring, and the application of recycled materials within circular-economy frameworks, including smart waste management. He has also explored environmental engineering domains such as wastewater treatment using fly ash adsorbents and indoor air quality in Indian buildings. Collaborating widely with leading experts, he has established a multidisciplinary research footprint that bridges sustainability, structural performance, and modern material science. Through consistent scholarly output and a strong commitment to environmentally responsible construction, Saravanakumar continues to contribute impactful insights supporting the future of sustainable civil engineering.
