Bridges are susceptible to severe damage due to wave-induced forces during extreme events, such as coastal flooding, cyclones, storm surges and tsunamis. Dr Ismail Qeshta’s study investigated the fragility and resilience of bridges subjected to extreme wave hazards.
Ismail has had his research published in Engineering Structures and has presented his research at the 2018 International Conference on Bridge Maintenance, Safety and Management in Melbourne.
After working as a Structural Engineer at RMIT University, Ismail is now a Graduate Structural Engineer at Sterling Infrastructure.
