Research

• Design of structures for blast and progressive collapse 
• Robustness and structural integrity of structures under extreme loading effects
• Performance-based seismic design of tall buildings
• Seismic performance evaluation of timber braced frames and CLT shear walls
• Timber-concrete composite and timber-steel hybrid systems
• Lateral load resisting systems of light wood Frames: shear walls and diaphragms
• Steel and mass timber component and system design
• Multi-hazard design approach of coastal infrastructures
• Sustainability and life cycle analysis
• Machine learning, data analytics, and software development

CIV E 479 - Structural Design III

Detailed design of a structure which requires students, working in teams, to exercise creativity, to make design assumptions and to complete the structural design based on a synthesis of technical knowledge acquired in this and other structural engineering courses. Course lectures focus on seismic load calculation; design of concrete, reinforced masonry and timber elements; bridge design; and advanced structural steel design. Prerequisite: CIV E 474. Note: Restricted to fourth-year traditional and fifth-year co-op engineering students.
