My
primary consulting and research interests are
- Soil mechanics, rock
engineering, earthquake engineering
- Foundation analyses
- Soil improvement and
construction supports
- Seismic hazard and ground
motion studies
- Soil structure interaction of
various kinds
- Finite element analysis for geotechnical
facilities
- Third party reviews
I am
particularly familiar with earthquake induced site response, downdrag,
pushover, lateral spreading, settlement, capacity, soil-structure-interaction
analysis using finite element method for piles, pile groups, tunnels and
other underground structures, which require more strict and refined
considerations.
