Colin Andrew Rogers
Associate Professor
Civil Engineering
McGill University
Canada
Biography
Professor Rogers joined the structures group of the Department in 1999. Structural steel engineering is his area of expertise. Coursework at the undergraduate level includes the design of steel, reinforced concrete and wood buildings, and at the graduate level involves the design of steel and wood structures. Research activities comprise; the seismic design of cold-formed steel framing systems, the seismic design of low-rise steel buildings and seismic deficient braced steel frames, as well as the design of structural steel connections.
Research Interest
The seismic design of cold-formed steel shear wall, braced wall and diaphragm framing systems, the seismic design of low-rise steel buildings accounting for the influence of flexible roof deck diaphragms, the design of structural steel shear tab and HSS connections, the performance of existing, seismic deficient braced steel frames and the welding of thick plates and heavy sections.
