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.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

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.
