About

Overview

Dr Feng Fu is the Council Member of Institution of Structural Engineers ( IStructE) in 2020 and Chair for North Thames Regional Group of IStructE in 2020. He is an Associate Editor , Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities, American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and Associate Editor, Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Structures and Buildings. He is a Chartered Structural Engineer, Fellow of Institution of Structural Engineers, Fellow of American Society of Civil Engineering and Fellow of Institution of Civil Engineers.

He is ranked by Microsoft Academics, the top 15 scholars in the world by saliency in the research of progressive collapse.He has contributed to the formulation of design rules for Codes by ASCE. He is a voting Member of Design Code of blast protection committee, American Society of Civil Engineers and he is voting Member of Disproportionate Collapse Mitigation of Building Structural Standards,American Society of Civil Engineers.

Prior to joining academia, he worked for several world leading consultancy companies and was involved in the design of extensive prestigious construction projects worldwide, including over 20 tall buildings (most buildings over 200 meters),such as the tallest building in Western Europe, the Shard in London; Nido Tower in London ( the third tallest student dormitory in the world); Nakheel tower in Dubai (1000m tall, Scheme design, the tallest building in the world);Beijing WangZuo Centre; Beijing Yuanyang complex,Beijing Kerry Center. He was also the team member of several large scale structural complex such as award winning Bristol Broadmead Shopping Centre,Heathrow airport, Qin Huang Dao stadium. He has also participated in the design of bridges, long span structures, hospitals, and almost all types structures.

He worked at advance analysis team in WSP Group Ltd London followed his work as a Structural Engineer in Waterman Group Ltd London. In China, He also worked as a structural engineer for one of the best and the oldest design institute in China, Beijing Institute of Architectural Design and Research (the designer of Beijing Olympic Games Stadiums and Guardian list of seven wonders of the modern world, Beijing Daxing International Airport) before his study of PhD in UK. When he was doing his Master in Structural Engineering, he worked as a research assistant in China Academy of Building research, worked on research projects funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China. He received his PhD in Structural Engineering from University of Leeds, MSc in software Engineering from University of Oxford and MBA from University of Manchester. He obtained his MSc and BSc in Structural Engineering from Beijing University of Technology respectively.

Dr Fu has extensive research experience in the area of progressive collapse, structural fire analysis of tall buildings and long span structures, Tensegrity structures and steel composite joints. He specialized in advanced numerical modelling and developed several modelling programs using different programming languages,including the the development of the first numerical procedure for progressive collpase analysis of tall buildings in the world, which has been used in the design of the tallest building in western Europe, the Shard. He also has extensive experience in large scall structural testing on concrete and steel composite structures. His recent research has been focused on Big data, cloud computing, IOT and Machine Learning.

He has published more than 130 peer reviewed technical papers with a Google Scholar h-index 25 and Scopus h-index 21. He is also the reviewer for more than 40 international Journals. He is also the editorial board member for three international journals, voting member for two design codes of ASCE. He is the author of Four books: Fu, F. (2018).

  8. Modelling Complex Structures in Modern Construction Projects. Imperial College (2016). With the fast development of modern construction technology, increasing complex buildings were built in the past decades. It is widely recognized by most of the engineers that, without using advanced modelling techniques, most of these buildings would not have been designed. It also requires structural engineers to have the ability to handle the increasing difficulty in designing more complicated projects required by both clients and architects. This requires the capacity of an engineer to use modern software packages and understand related analysis theories. In this evening talk, the most popular software used in the current design practice such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, SAP2000, ETABS will be introduced and how to choose between them will also be discussed. The way to set up complex model and relevant theory underpin the analysis will also be illustrated. Different modelling examples such as tall buildings, long span structures as well as blast analysis, buckling analysis, earthquake analysis will be demonstrated.
