Bálint Vaszilievits-Sömjén Bio: Bálint Vaszilievits works as senior research engineer at Consteel Solutions Ltd, a software developer company located in Budapest, Hungary, specialized in providing structural analysis and design software for steel structures. He graduated from the Technical University of Budapest in 1994. He holds an MSC title in Civil Engineering. Bálint Vaszilievits has recently started his PhD studies at Széchenyi Egyetem, Győr, Hungary. Bálint Vaszilievits’s research covers the behavior of steel structures, computational mechanics and methods of nonlinear analysis, and applications to structural design. Bálint Vaszilievits is a member of the ECCS TC8 Committee on the Stability of Steel Structures. Bálint Vaszilievits is focused on developing design methods that take advantage of the computer analysis results available to engineers to eliminate the limitations provided by the use of traditional simplified design rules. These results are constantly added to the computer software package called Consteel, which covers unique Eurocode design methods. The company is working to combine its 20 years of experience with the present AISC design rules. Bálint’s PhD subject is the design of cold-formed steel members to develop a design method based on numerical analysis results obtained with a combination of the state-of-the-art solutions available for stability design.
