Fault-crossing tunnels and underground structures
Investigating strong-motion response, intensity measures and seismic mitigation for tunnels that cross active faults.
Bridges and mountainous site effects
Examining how multi-support excitation, wave types and local topography affect long-span and valley-spanning bridges.
Soil–structure interaction
Addressing coupled soil and structural response through boundary methods and wave propagation simulations in localized regions.
Seismic mitigation and infrastructure resilience
Assessing seismic fragility, life-cycle costs and recovery capacity for isolated structures, storage tanks and other infrastructure.
Low-carbon seismic design and materials
Exploring the relationship between seismic performance and carbon emissions, and the balance between safety and sustainability in materials and structural systems.
