Dr Stanyslav Grosman

I am a lecturer in the Civil Engineering. I joined LSBU in 2024, having previously worked at Imperial College London as a research associate (2019-2024). I received my PhD in Structural Engineering from Imperial College London (2015-2019), and my BSc and Masters from Pridneprovs’k State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture.

My research focuses on robustness of built environment. Nowadays, as engineers we need to make sure that our designs can last in the world of ever changing environmental and performance requirements. My PhD was focused on development of effective algorithms for assessing robustness of irregular structures. Conventional robustness assessment algorithms are heavily reliant on a priori known failure mode. For irregular structures defining such mode proves to be difficult. To address this my work focused on the theoretical underpinning of robustness assessment process and established a generalised approach to robustness assessment for structures with ill-defined failure mode.

Since December 2019, I have been involved with Network Rail funded project on “Realistic Assessment of Masonry Railway Viaducts”. The scope of the project included realistic high-fidelity modelling of non-linear behaviour of masonry arch bridges under the transient traffic loading. Special focus was also placed on non-contact monitoring of railway infrastructure by mean of Digital Image Correlation.

I also had the privilege of participating in the EPSRC funded research project – ERMABI (Exploiting the Resilience of Masonry Arch Bridge Infrastructure). This project was a collaborative work between the Universities of Sheffield, Leeds and Imperial College London. Results of the project were delivered to the industry specialist during a Workshop in September 2024, where recording of session are available online
