Technical Interests:
Fundamental and applied research in all aspects of earthquake engineering, particularly for the Central and Eastern United States: paleo-liquefaction analyses; seismic hazard analyses; development of acceleration time histories for engineering use; site response analyses (effective and total stress); liquefaction evaluation; soil improvement; in-situ characterization of soil properties; dynamic soil-structure-interaction, to include the influence of the structure on liquefaction potential.
