Organized Research Units

Collaborative research is conducted with other universities and research centres at the national and international level. This cooperation includes institutions such as the University of Ottawa, the National Research Council of Canada, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources Canada, Public Works Canada, the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario, the University of Western Ontario, McGill University, and institutions in France (University of Grenoble), New Zealand (University of Auckland), Brazil and Egypt (Zagazig University). Although much of the research is conducted and/or directed by the individual faculty members, a number of faculty members of diverse expertise but with common research interests have organized themselves into research units. Currently, some of these units consist of:

• Centre for Geosynthetics Research Information and Development (C-GRID).
• Centre of Excellence for High Performance Concrete.
• Transportation Research Centre.
• Bridge Research Institute.
