Saruhan Kartal serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Kırıkkale University's Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, where he has maintained an active academic position since 2014. His research focuses on advancing structural engineering through innovative material applications and behavioral analysis of concrete systems.
His educational background includes:
- Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from Kırıkkale University (2012)
- Master's degree in Civil Engineering from Kırıkkale University (2014)
- Doctoral degree in Civil Engineering from Kırıkkale University (2020)
Professor Kartal's research spans critical areas in structural engineering, with emphasis on composite reinforcement systems and concrete behavior. Key interests include composite (FRP) reinforcement, FRP-reinforced reinforced concrete elements, hollow-core reinforced concrete beams, hybrid reinforced beams, steel structures, and reinforced concrete structures. His work addresses practical challenges in structural durability and performance through experimental validation and analytical modeling.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2017-2025) reveals a consistent research trajectory centered on reinforced concrete behavior under various reinforcement schemes. Dominant themes include shear and flexural performance of beams with geometric modifications (openings, cold joints), hybrid FRP-steel reinforcement systems, and material innovations using supplementary cementitious components. His studies frequently examine failure mechanisms, ductility parameters, and serviceability limits, demonstrating strong alignment with industry needs for sustainable and resilient infrastructure.
