INTRODUCTION
SQVE STRUCTURAL SUMMIT
Title of talk: The Smart Choice: Steel-Concrete Composite Structures
Steel or concrete? Why not both! Steel-concrete composite structures bring out the best in both materials—steel’s strength and concrete’s durability—to create stronger, lighter, and more efficient designs.
In this talk, Dr Jawed Qureshi explores why composite structures are reshaping modern engineering. He’ll break down how composites reduce material waste, cut costs, and improve structural performance. Whether you’re designing bridges, high-rises, or industrial buildings, these systems offer smarter solutions that traditional methods can’t match.
You’ll learn how engineers are using composites to build faster and stronger, plus the key design principles that make them work. You will also see real-world examples proving why this approach is the future of structural engineering.
If you want to stay ahead of the curve, optimise your designs, and create smarter, safer structures, this session is for you.
Expert speaker
Dr Jawed Qureshi is an expert in steel-concrete composite design, with extensive research, teaching, and industry experience. He holds a PhD in Steel-Concrete Composite Structures from the University of Leeds and has worked at the University of Leeds and the University of Warwick before joining the University of East London in 2013. He is currently a Senior Lecturer in Structural Engineering and Design.
Dr Qureshi has published over 50 international conference and journal papers and has collaborated on various steel-concrete composite projects with industry partners in the UK. He actively promotes structural engineering through his YouTube channel and LinkedIn, aiming to educate and inspire students and professionals.
Committed to advancing engineering through education and training, Dr Qureshi strives to make a lasting impact on the profession.
