- Departing from conventional steel design, which is based on approximate and lengthy design equations suited to hand calculations, a novel and streamlined structural steel design approach based on stiffness reduction is established. In recognition of the significance of this new computational design approach, the US Structural Stability Research Council granted the prestigious Vinnakota Award to the first author (details: http://www.ssrcweb.org/vinnakota). This research led to the invitation of the first author to join the working group responsible for drafting the Eurocode design standard for steel structures (CEN/TC250/SC3/WG22; EN-1993-1-14).
