Mohammad Awad
Hashemite University, Jordan

Mohammad Awad of Hashemite University, Jordan, is associated with engineering research concerning the structural behavior and numerical assessment of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforced concrete columns. His recent publications examine axial compression, load–strain response, database-based analysis, and finite element validation, establishing a focused research direction within contemporary structural engineering.

Abstract

Mohammad Awad’s research profile reflects an engineering focus on the structural performance of concrete columns strengthened or reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer systems. The work combines empirical database analysis with finite element modelling to investigate axial compression and load–strain behavior. Such approaches can support improved understanding of structural response and provide numerical evidence for evaluating FRP-reinforced concrete systems. [1]

Keywords

Fiber-reinforced polymer; FRP reinforced concrete; concrete columns; axial compression; finite element analysis; load–strain behavior; structural engineering.

Introduction

FRP reinforcement has become an important research topic in structural engineering because its mechanical and durability characteristics offer alternatives to conventional reinforcement systems. Numerical modelling and experimental databases are frequently used together to characterize structural response and evaluate predictive approaches. Awad’s recent research addresses this area through finite element assessment and database-oriented investigation of concrete columns subjected to axial loading. [2]

Research Profile

The research profile is centered on computational structural analysis, particularly the relationship between reinforcement configuration and the mechanical response of concrete columns. The use of finite element methods provides a framework for examining load transfer and strain development, while database analysis allows broader comparison across structural cases. This combination represents a methodologically focused contribution to engineering research.

Research Contributions

  • Investigation of axial compression behavior in FRP-reinforced concrete columns.
  • Application of finite element analysis to structural load–strain response.
  • Use of database analysis to support broader evaluation and validation of structural behavior.

Publications

“Axial compression behavior of FRP reinforced concrete columns based on database analysis and finite element validation” was published in Discover Civil Engineering on 27 August 2026. The article examines database evidence alongside finite element validation of axial compression behavior. [3]

“Finite element analysis of concrete columns reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP): Load-strain behavior” was published in Scientific Research and Essays on 31 August 2025. The study focuses on finite element evaluation of load–strain behavior in FRP-reinforced concrete columns. [4]

Research Impact

The available scholarly profile records 3 documents, 2 citations, and an h-index of 1. These quantitative indicators represent a developing publication record and should be interpreted in relation to the researcher’s recent publication activity. The subject concentration in Engineering and the focus on FRP-based structural systems provide a clearly defined technical research direction.

Award Suitability

The Innovative Research Award recognizes research characterized by methodological development, relevant technical investigation, and potential contribution to its field. Awad’s work demonstrates innovation through the combined use of finite element modelling and database analysis to study FRP-reinforced concrete columns. The alignment between the research topic, engineering specialization, and recent peer-reviewed publications provides a substantive basis for consideration.

Conclusion

Mohammad Awad presents an emerging engineering research profile focused on computational and analytical assessment of FRP-reinforced concrete columns. His recent publications establish a coherent direction in structural behaviour, finite element analysis, and database-supported validation, making the profile relevant to research recognition in innovative engineering studies.
