معرفی
Associate Professor Ehab Hamed is a faculty member at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), holding the rank of Associate Professor within the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. He is affiliated with the Centre for Infrastructure Engineering and Safety (CIES) and actively contributes to research, teaching, and professional service in structural engineering.
Education: He earned his B.Sc. (2000), M.Sc. (2003), and Ph.D. (2007) in Civil/Structural Engineering from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.
Research Interests:
- Time-dependent behavior of concrete and composite structures
- Creep and shrinkage in concrete
- FRP composites in construction
- Precast concrete systems and sandwich panels
- Viscoelastic behavior of materials
- Finite element modeling of structural systems
Recent Research Trends: His 2024–2025 publications emphasize advanced concrete technologies, including geopolymer and alkali-activated concretes, ultra-high-performance seawater/sea-sand concrete, and the durability of composite systems under sustained and environmental loading. Simplified design approaches for precast sandwich panels and mesoscale modeling of creep are also prominent.
