      Research Interests

      Shen Yan is interested in the response and design of steel structures with an emphasis on understanding extreme limit states such as fracture and collapse. His research addresses structural performance at the material, connection, as well as the building scales. This work involves combinations of experiments, computational simulation and analytical modeling. Currently, He is focusing on developing component-based joint models for predicing the ultimate and post-ultimate states of steel beam-to-column connections.
