Computational Structural Mechanics

  • Nonlinear finite element analysis
  • Adaptive nonlinear analysis: error estimation, practical and accuracy-driven adaptivity
  • Geometric nonlinearity: buckling, large displacements
  • Material nonlinearity: steel, concrete, tensile fabric
  • Structural forms: frames, offshore jackets/jackups, whole buildings, R/C and composite floor slabs, shells, cable nets and membranes
  • Loading: static, dynamic (blast, impact, earthquake), fire
  • Special topics: dynamic contact analysis, nonlinear solution procedures 
  • Simplified modelling: SDOF blast models, simplified buckling analysis, blast/fire resistance of beams and columns

Structures Subject to Extreme Loading

  • Fire resistance of steel-concrete composite buildings
  • Structures subject to coupled blast/fire scenarios
  • Robustness and progressive collapse of tall buildings
  • Response of offshore structures to extreme static/dynamic loading

Interdisciplinary Research

  • Soil-structure interaction
  • Use of blinding struts for cut and cover excavation
  • Risk assessment of structures under extreme loading
