Biography
Royce focuses his educational and research efforts on concrete materials and structural engineering, with an emphasis on reinforced and prestressed concrete. His research includes topics in lightweight concrete, self-consolidating concrete (SCC), prestressed concrete, ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), and application of concrete materials. The ultimate aim of his research is to develop materials and methods that will produce longer lasting structures. He teaches basic mechanics, analysis, and structural design courses at the undergraduate level and prestressed concrete and concrete materials courses at the graduate level.
Research Interest
Material property characterization and applications of innovative concrete materials, bond of prestressting strands, prestress losses, camber and shear behavior of prestressed concrete members, and internal curing using lightweight aggregates.
