Research Areas:
• Analysis and behaviour of curved steel and composite framed structures, including dynamic and thermal effects.
• Geometric and material non-linear behaviour of thin-walled structure.
• Nonlinear structural mechanics, in particular, nonlinear analysis of arched structures, including static, dynamic and thermal effects.
• Development of finite element codes for three dimensional large deformation elastic-plastic analyses of structures.
• Structural in-plane and out-of-plane buckling analysis.
• Non-deterministic structural analysis of structures accounting for uncertainties of structural properties.
• Long-term linear and nonlinear analysis of concrete filled steel tubular structures.
• Dynamic stability analysis of structures.
• Steel and steel-concrete composite structures subjected to high temperatures.
