Dr. Radlinski specializes in concrete and cement-based materials. He has experience in evaluation of mechanical and durability-related properties of concrete including shrinkage cracking susceptibility, transport properties, corrosion and freeze-thaw resistance. Dr. Radlinski has investigated failures of concrete and cementitious materials in a wide range of structures and applications including building components, industrial floors, pavements, chimneys, water structures, deep foundations, asbestos-cement pipe, tile and stucco. Dr. Radlinski has also characterized chemical composition and physical properties of concrete constituents, particularly those related to durability. He has specific expertise with concrete mix optimization, modeling of concrete properties and concrete sustainability.
Prior to joining Exponent, Dr. Radlinski was a research assistant at Purdue University, where he was involved in several research projects funded by the Indiana Department of Transportation administered through the Joint Transportation Research Program. These projects dealt with optimization of ternary cementitious systems (containing fly ash and silica fume) for bridge deck concrete, investigation into the causes for premature deterioration of joints in rigid pavement, instrumentation and monitoring of structural behavior of prestressed high-strength concrete girders and high-performance concrete bridge deck, and field installation and performance assessment of commercial rapid-setting repair materials.
During his M.S. program Dr. Radlinski studied the design of steel, reinforced concrete and timber structures. The focus of his M.S. thesis was on reliability-based optimization of spatial trusses.
