معرفی
Associate Professor Sanda Koboevic is affiliated with Polytechnique Montréal in the Department of Civil, Geological and Mining Engineering. With degrees including B.Sc. (Université de Sarajevo), M.Eng. (McGill), and Ph.D. (McGill), she specializes in structural engineering, earthquake engineering, and soil-structure interaction.
- Education: B.Sc. (Université de Sarajevo), M.Eng. (McGill), Ph.D. (McGill)
Her research focuses on seismic design of steel and concrete structures, foundation engineering, and structural resilience. She investigates how footing size, soil-structure interaction, and variability in design parameters affect seismic performance.
Recent publications include studies on functional recovery time of braced frame buildings (2025), predictive equations for footing behavior using machine learning (2025), and Canadian seismic design procedures for steel braced frames (2024). These works align with her expertise in steel and concrete structures, foundation analysis, and seismic rehabilitation.
- Scientific Awards:
- 2022: H.A. Krentz Award from Canadian Institute of Steel Construction
She supervises graduate students and has advised numerous Ph.D. and Master's theses on topics like seismic deformations of concrete shear walls and retrofit of steel frames. Her work impacts building codes, engineering practices, and disaster preparedness in structural engineering.
