Thin-Walled Structural Members Under Web Crippling Loadings

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.
