This work on thin unequal-leg angle steel columns continues the research aiming to develop design equations in the Eurocodes for important, yet more specialised, structural components where several structural phenomena interact: compression, bending and twisting.

Our paper on the behaviour and design of unequal-leg stainless steel angle columns has been published. Work led by our excellent PhD student @rickydairk and co-supervised by @LeroyGardner10. @Imperial_CEE @ICSteelStruct @ICNonlinearMech #OpenAccess authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S23…

ROBOCOP! We’re showing how metal 3D printing is revolutionizing structural engineering @PIONEER_Eu @ICSteelStruct @Shimizu_now @ArcAngel_3D

Our paper is out on steel beams strengthened by 3D printing modelling the effect on residual stresses from the manufacturing process. Work led by PhD student Jiachi Yang and co-supervised by @LeroyGardner10. @Imperial_CEE @ICSteelStruct @ICNonlinearMech authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S01…

Our 1st paper with PhD student Jiachi Yang, joint research with @Pinelopi_Kyv and @LeroyGardner10 on modelling strengthened steel I-sections with 3D printed stiffeners published in Structures. @ImperialCiveng @ICSteelStruct #OpenAccess doi.org/10.1016/j.istr…

This work on flanged cruciform cross-section steel columns continues the research aiming to refine design equations in the Eurocodes for important, yet more specialised, structural components where more several structural phenomena interact: compression, bending and twisting.

Our #openaccess paper on defining imperfections with consistency necessary to determine steel frame stability has been published. My 1st collaboration with the hugely talented @FionaWalport and yet another paper with @LeroyGardner10. @ICSteelStruct authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S23…

Delighted to report that our latest #openaccess paper in Thin-Walled Structures on shear resistance of steel I-section girders has been published. This is work led by @ll_lpr, written in collaboration with @LeroyGardner10. doi.org/10.1016/j.tws.…

One of my PhD students supervised with @LeroyGardner10 (star of @SkyNews on Tuesday) has just submitted his thesis with approx 3 hours to spare. We received his 1st 2 of 7 chapters on 12 March and turned the whole thesis around in 17 days, a task that usually takes months. 😅

An overview of steel and timber composite flooring systems presented by @LeroyGardner10, joint work with Dr Pinelopi Kyvelou and the University of Malta. Presented in the special session of #ICTWS2023 dedicated to the career of my good friend Professor Dinar Camotim.

Now it's @BBehzadiSofiani's turn, he's presenting our work on thin steel angle members under combined bending and compression. #ICTWS2023 @ICNonlinearMech @ICSteelStruct @ImpEngineering @ImperialCiveng

One of our latest academic appointments at @imperialciveng, Dr Pinelopi Kyvelou, presents work on testing additive manufactured steel trusses in #ICTWS2023. @ICSteelStruct @ImpEngineering

PhD student from @ICSteelStruct and Skempton Building Level 4 legend, Ben Weber, delivers the 1st talk on Additive Manufacturing at the 9th International Conference on Thin-Walled Structures #ICTWS2023 held at the University of Sydney. @ImperialCiveng @ImpEngineering

Delighted to report the publication in @RSocPublishing #OpenScience of our latest paper written by Adam Bekele, @atmphillips and me on mathematical and numerical modelling and testing of bistable mechanical metamaterial 3D printed lattices. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

A mechanics-based design approach for columns with a common kind of nonlinear constitutive law has been published in Structures. Joint work with Anton Koellner and @LeroyGardner10. @ICSteelStruct @ICNonlinearMech @creativecommons @ImperialCiveng authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S23…

A great pleasure to present once again at #EMI2023, a particular delight to present joint work on the complex topic of the buckling and design of steel angle columns with @BBehzadiSofiani and @LeroyGardner10. Many thanks to my old mate @nbkaye for taking the photo.

A great pleasure in watching Professor Catherine O'Sullivan from @ImperialCiveng delivering a plenary keynote lecture on the mechanics of clays at #EMI2023. @imperialcollege @ImpEngineering
