Research

During Dr Jonaidi's research and industry professions, he has been involved in analysis and design of complex structural projects such as:

  • Modeling and analysis of high-rise buildings,
  • Analysis and design of steel structures,
  • Floor vibration for concrete slabs and pedestrian bridges,
  • Serviceability vibration analysis of high-rise buildings under wind effect,
  • Earthquake Engineering,
  • Design of post tensioned concrete structures.

He also used Finite Element Analysis for:

  • Nonlinear and Buckling analysis of silos and thin-walled members,
  • Temperature effects on concrete slabs,
  • Industrial concrete pavements,
  • Analysis of long span spatial steel structures,
  • Analysis of Glazing facade and so on.

Furthermore, Dr. Jonaidi has experience in: Below grade shoring walls using soil nails and ground post-tensioned anchors, retrofit of concrete structures using Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP), and the strengthening of structures to resist progressive collapse.
