Dr. B.Madhusudana Reddy, pursued his M.Tech. (Structural Engineering) and Ph.D in Civil Engineering from Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati. Before he joined as Assistant Professor, in the department of Civil Engineering, SVUCE in July 2007, he had ‘31’ years of experience as Civil Engineer in the fields of Execution as well as Structural Designs. At the beginning of his career, he worked in the private firms as Site Engineer for about ‘6’ years. Then he got selection as an ‘Assistant Executive Engineer’ in the Engineering Dept. of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh in the year 1999. He worked there as ‘Assistant Executive Engineer’ for about ‘8’ years.
Later, he turned his profession in to teaching because of passion over the profession. He joined as ‘Assistant Professor’, Dept. of Civil Engineering in Sri Venkateswara University College of Engineering, Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati in July-2007. He has promoted as ‘Associate Professor’ in July 2020 and as ‘Professor’ in July 2023. Being a faculty, besides teaching for UGs and PGs in Structural Engineering subjects, he actively involved in the departmental consultancy too. Wherein, he looks after testing of construction materials, Concrete Mix designs and Health assessment of aged and doubtful structures. He is associated in proof checking of the structural designs of several structures pertaining to public and private sectors and High raised structures coming up in Tirupati, a smart city. He is the member of departmental quality control team for 3rd party Quality Control checks for various Govt. on-going projects. He has acted as a resource person for the training programs of employees of various Govt. departments and also involved in the programs for dissemination of research outcomes among the construction industry personnel.
His research covers “Economical Design of RCC and Steel structures, Innovative and sustainable construction materials, Repair, Retrofitting and Rehabilitation of Structures”.
