Sopokhem Lim

Sopokhem Lim is a Researcher at the Faculty of Science and Engineering, Waseda University, specializing in structural engineering, concrete material science, and corrosion effects on infrastructure. His work integrates X-ray imaging, finite element (FE) modeling, and probabilistic analysis to study steel corrosion variability, fiber-reinforced concrete performance, and structural reliability in marine environments.

• Research Interests: Steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC), corrosion-induced cracks, FE modeling, X-ray technology, spatial corrosion distribution, and life-cycle cost analysis.
• Key Projects: Development of centrifugal-forming SFRC piles for shear reinforcement replacement, chloride corrosion mitigation using stainless steel rebars in coastal bridges, and Gumbel distribution-based reliability modeling for aging RC structures.

His recent publications focus on carbon-neutral concrete technologies, fiber orientation control, and non-uniform corrosion effects on prestressed concrete beams. While no explicit awards or student advisement details are provided, his work emphasizes experimental validation of corrosion models and data-driven structural assessments using X-ray photogrammetry and digital image processing.
