My research aims to make concrete structures more: resilient to shocks, durable and sustainable. I innovate by going back to the fundamentals of materials and structures.
Professor Kypros Pilakoutas
Kypros Pilakoutas (BSc (Eng), ACGI, DIC, PhD, DSc) is the Professor of Construction Innovation in the Department, the Managing Director of the Centre for Cement and Concrete and the Leader of the Concrete and Earthquake Research Group.
He is also the Director of two technology spin-out companies.
He completed his BSc(Eng) in Civil Engineering (1984) and PhD (1990) in Earthquake Engineering at Imperial College London and worked in construction for two years. In 2003, he was awarded the title of Doctor Honoris Causa by the Technical University of Iasi.
In 1991 he was appointed as a lecturer at Sheffield, was promoted to Reader in 1997 and to a personal chair (Professor of Construction Innovation) in 2004.
Three of his inventions have been patented and commercially exploited worldwide.
- Research interests
-
With over 35 years’ research experience and over 500 research publications, he focuses on structural concrete, FRP and fibre reinforcements, structural repair, construction innovation, risk management and earthquake engineering.
His research aims to make concrete more durable and environmentally friendly by replacing some of the components used in its manufacture with recycled materials or those that require less energy to produce.
He has developed several new types of concrete reinforcing products, including:
- Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) made from glass, basalt and carbon
- Metal straps for the seismic strengthening of buildings in seismic regions
- A metal band-based shear reinforcing system for flat slabs
- Rubber, steel wire and textile fibres from post-consumer tyres
He coordinated Research grants, awards and industrial contracts in excess of £20,000,000. He is an invited member of several UK and International technical committees and networks. He advises universities and governements internationally on academic and research issues.

Past Grants
This project aims to develop:
(1) an advanced understanding of the mechanisms behind the fibre-matrix compatibility in controlling cracking/spalling of concrete and (2) a novel, sustainable, cracking/spalling-controlled geopolymer natural FRC and a new technique which modifies the surface properties of natural fibres to enhance their bond with the cementitious matrix.
RCUK-TUBITAK Research Partnerships
The aim of the project was to develop, an innovative, integrated and efficient framework for multi-hazard seismic risk assessment and disaster mitigation in developing countries. Earthquake related intelligence were obtained from smart devices in real-time for the first time and integrated in to the framework.
- Teaching interests
-
I like to go back to the fundamentals of materials and structures so as to innovate and arrive at more economic and sustainable structures.
I also like to find new ways of constructing architecturally challenging structures.
- Teaching activities
-
Within the module of Advanced Concrete Design I teach the topics of Deflections and cracking (short-term and long-term), Ductility, Shear, Bond and Prestressed Concrete
- Professional activities and memberships
