Pratik Ghimire

OverviewAI-generated summary

Pratik Ghimire's research focuses on structural engineering, specifically investigating the behavior of moment connections in steel structures. His work includes experimental evaluations of reduced beam section moment connections, with a particular emphasis on their performance when integrated with composite concrete slabs. This research aims to understand how different configurations and the presence of concrete influence the structural integrity and load-bearing capacity of these critical connections.

Ghimire has also contributed to educational research within engineering. He co-authored a case study examining the use of mini-projects in structural material testing courses as a method to address ABET student outcomes. This work highlights pedagogical approaches aimed at enhancing engineering education and ensuring graduates meet professional accreditation standards. His collaborators on these projects include Suman Mitra, Lekshmi Sasidharan, Tariq Sweidan, and Abigail Mayhan, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
