Title:
Advances in Steel structures
Abstract:
In general terms, steel structures can be categorized into building structures and infrastructures. This presentation revolves around research efforts in the area of stability of thin-walled steel structures conducted to maximize structural benefits in steel construction for both these areas. This includes evaluating structures with damages (large imperfections such as dents and cutouts), and reinforcement. Examples of structures under cyclic and static loading will be discussed. Further to the mentioned areas, the presentation will consist of the presenter’s past work on elastic bracing of steel beams, steel shells under load combination, and novel bolt-connections of beam-column elements.

Biography:
Dr. Ghanbari completed his Ph.D. in 2017 (UTAS) with the Dean of Faculty’s Exceptional Research Performance Award. At UTAS, he was the sole lecturer in charge of Structural Mechanics (2017), and a teaching assistant (2013–17) for a number of engineering subjects. He was a visiting lecturer of UTAS at XUST in China (2016). In late 2017, He was offered two positions, a lectureship position (B) at UTAS, and DVC(R)’s University Research Fellowship of the University of Adelaide. He accepted the latter at the University of Adelaide. After completion of the Fellowship, he accepted an industry co-funded Research Associate position at the UniSA till 2020. In 2021, he wanted to broaden his experience and moved to Europe and joined KU Leuven (Belgium) as a teaching and research staff of the structural engineering department working on composite structures. Dr. Ghanbari has been the author and co-author of more than 50 peer-reviewed papers including 40 journal papers in top-ranked journals of structural engineering.
