    Dr. Adel E. Abd El-Nabi has more than fifteen years of experience in the field of failure analysis of buildings and bridges. He serves as a senior consultant for projects related to building enclosure, forensic analysis, litigation support, restoration, and renovation work. He is proficient in performing experimental and numerical simulations utilizing state-of-the-art laboratory testing equipment and advanced finite element methods to investigate the failure behavior of highly complex structural systems. He has assessed, repaired, and designed high-profile structures in the US and overseas, including 3,000+ years old large historical buildings in Egypt, where he conducted non-destructive testing that helped in provide repair and retrofit plans to limit further deterioration of structural components and prevent possible structural failure.

    Dr. Abd El-Nabi is also a frequent guest speaker at failure analysis related symposiums. He spoke to national and international audiences on multiple structural engineering topics and has authored numerous technical articles related to structural engineering. In addition, Adel has extensive knowledge of current structural engineering design and assessment codes and standards, including the International Residential and Building Codes, ASCE 7-16, ACI 318-14, AISC Manual and Specifications, NDS 2018, TMS 402/602, and AASHTO. 

    Dr. Abd El-Nabi is currently an associate professor at the University of Memphis and enjoys teaching structural engineering courses related to the design of structures using steel, concrete, wood, and masonry materials. He also teaches topics related to advanced finite element methods, earthquake engineering, and nonlinear analysis of structures for graduate-level students.
