Report summary

The 2016-2026 picture for Queensland University of Technology School of Civil & Environmental Engineering is a 34-PI network with 37 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (52% of slots across 27 PIs; 27 labels), Civil and Structural Engineering as the leading subfield (19% of slots across 16 PIs; 16 labels), and Traffic and Road Safety as the leading topic (5% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). That is a nice sign for applicants and collaborators, because the network has both density and separable local groups. The top weighted PIs are Mahen Mahendran (103.5 weighted works; Structural Load-Bearing Analysis, Fire effects on concrete materials); Lídia Morawska (96.7 weighted works; Air Quality and Health Impacts, Air Quality Monitoring and Forecasting). The strongest pairings are Ashantha Goonetilleke and Prasanna Egodawatta (61 shared works, weight 29.9); Mahen Mahendran and Anthony Ariyanayagam (51 shared works, weight 28.1). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 16 internal connections, weight 56.4, around Civil and Structural Engineering, Building and Construction, Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law, led by Tatheer Zahra, Sabrina Fawzia, Tommy H.T. Chan; group 2 with 8 PIs, 11 internal connections, weight 39.6, around Transportation, Safety, Risk, Reliability and Quality, Automotive Engineering, led by Lídia Morawska, Md.
