Dr. G. Raghava is working as a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at NITTE Meenakshi Institute of Technology, Bangalore since July 2019. Prior to that, he has served as a Chief Scientist at CSIR - Structural Engineering Research Centre, Chennai for a span of 34 years. At CSIR-SERC, he was involved in research and development in the areas of “fatigue and fracture behaviour of structural materials, components and structures”; “experimental investigations on large size structural components”; and R&D in in-house, sponsored and consultancy research projects including externally funded projects from public and private sector organisations/industry. From October 2006 to July 2017, he served as head of fatigue & Fracture Laboratory of CSIR-SERC and also supported the organisational management in various capacities. He completed his PhD in Structural Engineering from Anna University, Guindy, Chennai in 1999. His PhD thesis was “Corrosion fatigue behaviour of cathodically protected stiffened steel tubular T joints” and received the Best PhD Thesis Award from the Corrosion Society of India. He completed his MTech in Industrial Structures from NITK (KREC) Surathkal in 1984 and BTech in Civil Engineering from Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering Mysore in 1980. His areas of interest are: fatigue behaviour of structures and structural components, fatigue/corrosion fatigue in steel offshore structures and power plant structures, design of structures for fatigue loads, experimental investigations on static and fatigue behaviour of large size structural components, fatigue and fracture investigations on structural components under low temperature and elevated temperature and internal pressure. Dr. Raghava has published 165 technical papers in reputed journals and proceedings of conferences. He has received many awards and recognitions during his academic and professional career, including awards for his technical papers. He has participated in the XXIII Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica during December 2003 to April 2004 and carried out “Structural assessment of the second Indian Research Station ‘Maitri’ in Antarctica”.  He was Chairman of the Technical Core Group for the construction of the third Indian Research Station ‘Bharati’ in East Antarctica.  He is a member of several professional societies such as The Institution of Engineers (India), Indian Concrete Institute, Indian Society for Non-Destructive Testing, Computer Society of India, Indian Structural Integrity Society, Society for Failure Analysis, Instrument Society of India, Indian Nuclear Society, Indian Society for Technical Education, Association of Consulting Civil Engineers, and Bamboo Society of India.
