Andrew Liew

Biography

Andrew completed his Masters Degree in Civil Engineering at Imperial College in London, with specialisms in reinforced concrete and structural steel design, structural dynamics, finite element analysis, computational engineering analysis and non-linear structural mechanics. He pursued further research in the department to complete his PhD titled "Design of structural steel elements with the Continuous Strength Method" under the supervision of Prof Leroy Gardner. This research extended a deformation (strain) based structural analysis approach via analytical and numerical methods, to calculate the strength and deformations of various structural steel cross-section shapes and to determine the inelastic response of imperfect pin-ended columns. Resulting design resistance equations have been implemented in the AISC design guide for stainless steel and the UK NCCI for Eurocode 3: Part 1.4. He fulfilled the role as teaching assistant for undergraduate and postgraduate students on mathematics, MATLAB, mechanics, structural mechanics, construction, engineering design and technical drawing. He was the winner of the Civil Engineering Centenary Prize and the Pippard Memorial Medal and Prize. Andrew was a structural engineer in the Buildings Engineering Group at Arup's head office in Fitzrovia, London. Main projects included the redevelopment of King’s Cross railway station in London and the structural design of York University metro station in Toronto, Canada. These projects involved the scheme and advanced design of structural elements and foundations using reinforced concrete, structural steel and masonry, while collaborating closely with architects, clients, contractors and engineers (geotechnical, mechanical, electrical and public health).
