Professor Joseph Rizzuto

About

I am Professor of Civil Engineering with a background in civil, structural and highway engineering. I am Head of School of the Built Environment and Geography which performs strongly in both its educational provision and research. Prior to joining Kingston, I was Head of Engineering, Built Environment and Maths and Stats at the University of West London. Whilst there, I was the founder and Head of the Sustainable Civil and Structural Engineering Research Group which investigated ways of reducing the impact of construction related activities on the environment. It hosted PhD students and produced high quality Journal and conference papers, reports, articles and funding bids. I am a reviewer for journal and book publishers and guest editor for Applied Sciences. I have broad experience of research degree supervisions and examinations and have had extensive involvement in programme leadership, development of new courses, accreditation events and external examining. I have gained significant experience on a wide variety of schemes with consulting engineers and contractors in the UK and overseas. My research interests are listed below.

Research

My expertise is in civil engineering project-based and problem-based structural design in reinforced concrete, steelwork, timber and masonry. I conduct research in areas that include sustainable civil, structural, and highway engineering materials; structural modelling behaviour; analysis, design and experimental investigations; structures and geotechnics; environmental engineering; sustainable urban infrastructure; modelling and testing of novel space structures; concrete ground-supported slabs; and masonry arches and vaults. This provides the basis for developing postgraduate research projects, research funding, and building strong links and collaborations with industry partners. My publications reads to date on ResearchGate total over 236,400. Current research includes 3-dimensional lattice space structures made from reciprocally supported elements in steel that rely on one another for support at their joints; behaviour of flat concrete slabs strengthening.
