Thin-Walled Structural Members Under Web Crippling Loadings: Finite Element Analysis, Design, and Integrated Testing addresses a critical and specialized area in structural engineering focused on the behavior, analysis, and design of thin-walled steel members subjected to web crippling loadings. This reference integrates experimental testing, advanced numerical modeling, and international design codes to improve understanding and practical design of cold-formed steel structures worldwide. The book offers in-depth coverage of experimental testing procedures and finite element analysis, including practical guidance on software tools, model verification, and validation best practices. It also includes design examples that demonstrate real-world applications across multiple international codes.
The book also presents integrated comparisons of experimental, numerical, and design results, discusses failure modes, and incorporates reliability analyses and parametric studies. It will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, structural and design engineers, graduate and PhD students, as well as manufacturers and industry professionals.

Authors
Ehab Ellobody Professor, Department of Structural Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Tanta University, Egypt.Prof. Ehab Ellobody is a professor of steel bridges and structures at Tanta University in Egypt. He earned his PhD from the University of Leeds, United Kingdom, in 2002, specializing in composite structures. Following his PhD, he has been engaged with research groups at Tanta University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, The University of Hong Kong, The University of Manchester, and Sohar University. During his tenure as the dean at Sohar University, Oman, he managed the accreditation of undergraduate engineering programs. His expertise includes steel and composite structures, stainless steel structures, stability of steel and composite columns at ambient and elevated temperatures, finite element modeling, steel and composite bridges, structural fire engineering, and posttensioned and hollow-core concrete slabs in fire. Prof. Ellobody has published numerous international journal articles and conference papers in these fields. He has served as the editor of the Journal of Constructional Steel Research, Elsevier, and has overseen a special issue on topics related to steel bridges and their components.
