معرفی
Christopher Stoakes is a Professor of Instruction and Research Scientist in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Iowa’s College of Engineering. He joined the institution in 2012, contributing to both academic instruction and research initiatives.
- PhD in Civil Engineering (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012)
- MEng in Civil Engineering (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
- BS in Civil Engineering (University of Iowa, 2003)
His research focuses on structural engineering, particularly seismic performance assessment and stability analysis of steel framed structures. Key areas include concentrated bracing systems, column buckling under multi-axis loads, and finite element modeling of structural components.
Stoakes’ recent publications emphasize seismic analysis of multitiered steel concentrically braced frames, cyclic flexural behavior of beam-column connections, and three-dimensional simulation techniques. His work aligns with standards like the AISC Seismic Provisions, addressing industrial applications and structural failure prevention.
Active in professional societies, Stoakes is a member of the American Institute of Steel Construction, Chi Epsilon, and the Structural Stability Research Council.
