Finite Element Analysis and Design of Steel and SteelConcrete Composite Bridges

This second edition of Finite Element Analysis and Design of Steel and Steel-Concrete Composite Bridges is brought fully up-to-date and provides structural engineers, academics, practitioners, and researchers with a detailed, robust, and comprehensive combined finite modeling and design approach. The book's eight chapters begin with an overview of the various forms of modern steel and steel-concrete composite bridges, current design codes (American, British, and Eurocodes), nonlinear material behavior of the bridge components, and applied loads and stability of steel and steel-concrete composite bridges. This is followed by self-contained chapters concerning design examples of steel and steel-concrete composite bridge components as well as finite element modeling of the bridges and their components. The final chapter focuses on finite element analysis and the design of composite highway bridges with profiled steel sheeting.

This volume will serve as a valuable reference source addressing the issues, problems, challenges, and questions on how to enhance the design of steel and steel-concrete composite bridges, including highway bridges with profiled steel sheeting, using finite element modeling techniques.

Autorentext
Dr. Ehab Ellobody is Professor of Steel Bridges and Structures at Tanta University in Egypt. He attained his PhD from the University of Leeds, UK in 2002 in the field of composite structures. Following his PhD, he joined different research groups at Tanta University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, The University of Hong Kong, The University of Manchester, and Sohan University. His deanship role from 2014 to 2020 at Sohar University, Oman, has resulted in Engineers Australia accreditation of undergraduate Engineering programs. His areas of expertise include steel and composite structures, stainless steel structures, stability of steel and composite columns at ambient and elevated temperatures, finite element modelling, steel and composite bridges, structural fire engineering, fire spread, post-tensioned and hollow-core concrete slabs in fire, cellular and castellated steel beams. Professor Ellobody has published several international journal articles and conference papers in these fields.
