Dr. Rahmatian is specialized in concrete, FRP design, structural health monitoring, fatigue, and concrete technology. His post-doctoral research at Concordia university is related to SHM of concrete girders under harsh environment by application of sensors. Dr. Rahmatian holds a professional license in Ontario and ACI board of director of Houston and officer of the chapter. He is the author of several papers and presented at many conferences. Dr. Rahmatian has established a funded research concrete lab specifically for supporting the city of Houston for mitigation of flood issues.
