Mohamed El Ashri

Dr Mohamed El Ashri is a Lecturer in Civil Engineering at London South Bank University, appointed from 28 October 2024. He is also an Honorary Research Associate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Imperial College London's Faculty of Engineering, where he contributes to the Computational Structural Mechanics Group.

• BSc in Civil Engineering – Mansoura University, Egypt
• MSc in Concrete Structures – Imperial College London, UK
• PhD in Structural Engineering – Imperial College London, UK

His research focuses on the structural assessment of masonry arch bridges using advanced numerical techniques. He specializes in high-fidelity mesoscale modeling to simulate the complex 3D behavior of historical and existing masonry structures under various loading conditions. His work bridges computational mechanics and practical civil infrastructure evaluation.

His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend in developing and applying detailed finite element models to understand the nonlinear response, stability, and load-carrying capacity of masonry bridges, especially skew configurations. The research lies at the intersection of structural engineering, computational modeling, and heritage infrastructure preservation.
