Dr. MacDougall is part of the Structures Group of the Department of Civil Engineering at Queen's University. His research has three main areas of focus:
- Bio-materials for construction, especially straw bale construction;
- Corrosion damaged unbonded, post-tensioned concrete buildings. The areas of interest include:
- Assessment methods for unbonded, post-tensioned concrete buildings;
- Repair of unbonded, post-tensioned concrete buildings using carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods;
- Fire-testing of steel prestressing strand, and the performance of unbonded, post-tensioned concrete buildings in fire;
- Mechanics and testing of strands with helical wires, including the bending of strands under tension, and the behaviour of strands with broken wires;
- Fatigue of civil engineering materials and structures:
- Fatigue performance and testing of welded steel cross-ties for light rail transit systems;
- Fatigue testing and modeling of 316 LN stainless steel and MMFX reinforcing bars for concrete;
- Fatigue testing and modeling of High Performance Steel (HPS);
- Effects of variable amplitude loading and corrosion on fatigue of civil engineering materials;
- Repair of fatigue damaged steel beams using carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets;
- Dynamics of fatigue damaged steel bridge girders.
