Abstract: In modern construction practice, deep and slender wide-flange
column cross-sections (? W16) are commonly utilized in the seismic design
of steel moment-frame buildings. While these members promote economy,
potential local and global stability issues, accentuated by their geometry,
raise concerns about their structural integrity (loss in strength,
stiffness and plastic deformation capacity) under cyclic loading. This
webinar presentation covers recent coordinated experimental and numerical
research aimed at understanding and characterizing the hysteretic behavior
of wide- flange steel columns.

Presenter: Dr. Ahmed Elkady is a Lecturer in Structural Engineering within
the National Infrastructure Laboratory at the University of Southampton,
UK, since August 2019. Prior to that, he was a post-doctoral research
scientist at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland. He
holds MSc (2011) and PhD (2016) degrees from McGill University, Canada.
Through integrated experimental, numerical and analytical research, Dr.
Elkady’s research focuses on quantifying structural robustness metrics,
such as collapse/demolition risk and direct economic losses, of steel and
composite steel/concrete structures under multi-hazards. His past research
has contributed to the North American seismic design provisions and the
nonlinear modelling guidelines related to steel moment-resisting frame
systems.
