SCBFs Structures| University of Tehran |Iran

Dr. Abazar Asghari is an Associate Professor of Structural Engineering at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Urmia University of Technology, Iran. He received his Ph.D. in Structural Engineering from Tehran University in 2002, focusing on the determination of ultimate loads and possible failure lines for continuous media using adaptive finite element methods. With more than three decades of academic, research, and technical experience, Dr. Asghari has made distinguished contributions to the areas of steel structure design, seismic performance evaluation, and nonlinear structural analysis. He has authored and co-authored over 25 scientific papers published in reputable international and national journals, including the Journal of Constructional Steel Research, Scientia Iranica, Neural Computing and Applications, and Structure and Infrastructure Engineering. His collaborative research with scholars such as Amir H. Gandomi and Saeed Saharkhizan has introduced innovative methodologies in seismic modeling, hybrid computational approaches, and performance-based structural design. Dr. Asghari is also the author of several highly regarded textbooks and design guides, including the multi-volume series Dynamics of Structures and Steel Structures Design, which are widely used in Iranian engineering education and practice. Beyond academia, he has played a major role in developing the Iranian National Building Code, serving as a technical committee member and primary text supplier for Chapter 10 on the design and construction of steel buildings. He currently chairs the Sub-Committee on Loads and Pressures (ISIRI/TC98/SC2) at the National Iranian Standards Organization and serves on the Board of Directors of the Iranian Society of Steel and Structures. Through his extensive research, teaching, and standardization work, Dr. Asghari has significantly contributed to advancing structural safety, seismic resilience, and sustainable engineering practices both in Iran and internationally.
