Research Interests

• Strength and ductility of bridge plate girders fabricated from high-performance grade steels
• Three-dimensional rod finite elements for efficient inelastic analysis of large frame structures
• Finite element models for analysis of joint, connection, and slab effects in steel building structures
• Second-order inelastic analysis and design of frame structures
• Simplified procedures for frame stability assessment and design
• Inelastic design and rating of continuous-span bridges
• Object-oriented frameworks for finite element analysis and visualization
