Bassam A. Izzuddin

Bassam A. Izzuddin is a Professor of computational structural mechanics at Imperial College London. He has worked extensively on numerical modeling and the assessment of various types of structure under extreme loading, such as those due to explosion, fire, and earthquakes. He pioneered the development of nonlinear adaptive analysis techniques for framed structures, and developed numerous novel formulations for modeling the nonlinear large displacement response of frames, plates, shells, and integrated structures. These developments, published in over 100 technical papers in leading international journals and conferences, have been implemented within the advanced program ADAPTIC, which he has been developing personally as the supervisor of several Ph.D. and M.S. students. A key feature of his work has been an extensive national/international collaboration with fellow academics and with leading players in the structural engineering industry, particularly in applied structural engineering research utilizing ADAPTIC. He has also made determined steps towards developing simplified design-oriented assessment techniques and proposing analogies which enhance the understanding by engineers of complex nonlinear structural phenomena. Most recently, he has worked on the development of a novel framework for progressive collapse assessment of multistorey buildings, which has formed the basis for applied collaborative research driving towards adoption in design practice, both nationally and internationally. He is also currently undertaking leading collaborative research on coupled modeling of nonlinear soil-structure interaction, which aims to overcome the simplifications typically made in structural or soil modeling for such problems.
