For more see the link, Prof. Jurgen Becque
Dept. of Civil and Structural Engineering
The University of Sheffield, UK
Profile:
Jurgen practiced as a design engineer for AECOM, specializing in the design of low-rise steel frame buildings, steel plate girder bridges, concrete tanks, and water treatment facilities. He completed his PhD in 2008 at the University of Sydney and then lectured there for three years. He joined our Department in 2011. His key research interests include the stability of cold-formed steel and stainless steel structural elements, tri-axial concrete behavior, connections in structural hollow sections and the application of FRP to strengthen concrete structures. He uses analytical methods and software to improve the understanding of how much load structural elements can withstand before they fail and cause structural instability. By concentrating on cold-formed steel, a material with a higher strength-to-weight ratio, that can be formed into more versatile geometry, and that is easier to transport and faster to construct with, Jurgen’s work contributes to optimization and sustainability in construction practices. His work also extends into fire engineering and how cold-formed steel behaves in very high temperatures, so structures can be made safer in the event of fire.
