About
Jerome F. Hajjar is a leading authority in structural engineering, with a primary focus on the behavior and design of steel and composite steel-concrete structures. His research is pivotal in advancing performance-based earthquake engineering and developing innovative structural systems that enhance resilience. A major contribution is his pioneering work on steel plate shear walls and moment-resisting frames, where he has established foundational design methodologies that are now widely adopted in practice. His highly cited research on the "mixed-field Timoshenko beam-column element" provides a robust framework for the direct analysis of tapered steel members, a critical advancement for efficient and accurate structural design. With over 17,000 citations, Hajjar’s impact on the field is profound. He has also made notable strides in integrating visual sensing technology and automated damage assessment for bridges, leveraging robotic systems to transform infrastructure inspection. A Distinguished Professor at Northeastern University and a member of the National Academy of Engineering, Hajjar’s work continues to shape modern structural engineering, bridging rigorous theory with practical, resilient design solutions.
