Structures, Geotechnics and Materials

This area emphasizes the application of analytical, numerical, experimental and practical approaches to the investigation of built infrastructure systems that withstand natural and man- made loads and hazards. Specific interests include sensors and structural health monitoring, composites for infrastructure applications, reliability and risk assessment of civil engineering systems, structural control, system identification and damage detection, performance-based earthquake engineering, soil-structure interaction, smart materials and structures, multi-scale modeling, and sustainable green materials and infrastructural systems.
