Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Prof. Ehab Ellobody is a professor of steel bridges and structures at Tanta University in Egypt. He earned his PhD from the University of Leeds, United Kingdom, in 2002, specializing in composite structures. Following his PhD, he has been engaged with research groups at Tanta University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, The University of Hong Kong, The University of Manchester, and Sohar University. During his tenure as the dean at Sohar University, Oman, he managed the accreditation of undergraduate engineering programs. His expertise includes steel and composite structures, stainless steel structures, stability of steel and composite columns at ambient and elevated temperatures, finite element modeling, steel and composite bridges, structural fire engineering, and posttensioned and hollow-core concrete slabs in fire. Prof. Ellobody has published numerous international journal articles and conference papers in these fields. He has served as the editor of the Journal of Constructional Steel Research, Elsevier, and has overseen a special issue on topics related to steel bridges and their components.

Based on twenty years of experience, Finite Element Analysis and Design of Steel and Steel-Concrete Composite Bridges provides structural engineers and researchers with detailed modeling techniques to create robust bridge design models. Application orientated, this reference is entirely devoted to finite element modeling techniques which are specific to steel and steel-concrete composite bridges.

Finite Element Analysis and Design of Steel and Steel-Concrete Composite Bridges begins with an overview of the various forms of modern steel and steel–concrete composite bridges as well as current design codes. This is followed by self-contained chapters concerning: nonlinear material behavior of the bridge components, applied loads and stability of steel and steel–concrete composite bridges, and design of steel and steel–concrete composite bridge components. Examples for finite element models of steel bridges as well as examples for finite element models of steel–concrete composite bridges are included at the end of the book.

The book also includes: Nonlinear material properties of steel; Nonlinear material properties of reinforcement bars; Nonlinear material properties of shear connectors; Dead loads of steel and steel–concrete composite bridges; Live loads on steel and steel–concrete composite bridges; Wind loads on steel and steel–concrete composite bridges; and Stability of steel and steel–concrete plate girder bridges.
