Design of Steel Structures - Hardcover

Jiehua (Jay), Ph.D., P.E., S.E., has taught design of steel structures at the Illinois Institute of Technology and at Iowa State University, where he serves as the Director of Graduate Study in the Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering. He has been involved in teaching, researching, and consulting in steel structures for the last 35 years, and has published extensively in performance-based earthquake engineering and innovations in steel structures. Dr. Shen was the 2017 recipient of the Joseph C. and Elizabeth Anderlik Faculty Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching at Iowa State University, and a 1997 University Excellence in Teaching Award. He received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1992.

Bulent Akbas, Ph.D., has been actively engaged in research, teaching, and consulting in the field of structural engineering for over 30 years. He has been a member of the faculty since 1997 at Gebze Technical University in Turkey, where he serves as the Director of the Earthquake and Structural Engineering Graduate Program and the Chair of the Department of Civil Engineering. Dr. Akbas has performed research on nonlinear analysis and behavior of steel structures as well as on performance-based design of structures, structural health monitoring, soil-structure interaction, silos, and tanks. He received his Ph.D. from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1997.

Onur Seker, Ph.D., is currently an Assistant Professor at Gebze Technical University in Turkey. He earned his M.Sc. degree in 2011 from Yildiz Technical University, where he completed his undergraduate studies in 2009. He studied structural engineering at Iowa State University and received his Ph.D. in 2016. Dr. Seker's research includes various projects related to seismic behavior of steel structures and structural components.

Mahmoud Faytarouni, Ph.D., is a Research Structural Engineer in the Steel Research Group at Genex Systems, supporting research work for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) at Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) in Virginia. He earned a Ph.D. in structural engineering from Iowa State University, an M.Engr. in engineering mechanics from Iowa State University, an M.Sc. in structural engineering from Milwaukee School of Engineering, and a B.S. in civil engineering from Beirut Arab University. Dr. Faytarouni's research interests include performance-based earthquake engineering, seismic evaluation and retrofit of steel buildings, bridge engineering, and fatigue and fracture of structures.
