Steel Structures Design Based on Eurocode 3

Farzad Hejazi is an associate professor at University Putra Malaysia. He is also innovation coordinator for the Faculty of Engineering and senior lecturer at the department of Civil Engineering at the same university. Further, he is the research coordinator at the Structural Unit and a member of the management committee of the UPM Housing Research Center. He received his PhD in Structural Engineering from University Putra Malaysia in 2011 and was postdoctoral fellow there until 2012. In addition he teaches postgraduate courses for master's and PhD students in structural engineering fields such as the finite element method, structural dynamics, advanced solid mechanics, advanced structural analysis and earthquake resistance structure. His main research interests include the development of earthquake-energy dissipation systems using advanced modern technologies; and the numerical simulation, experimental testing and optimization of the performance of structural controllers using smart and intelligent system in order to diminish the effects of earthquake on structure and to guarantee safety of buildings in natural disasters.
