Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis

Time History Response of Reinforced Concrete Building

I have extensive expertise in structural dynamics and earthquake engineering, specializing in the analysis of structures under dynamic lateral loads from wind, blast, or seismic events. My experience spans single and multi-degree-of-freedom (SDOF & MDOF) systems, including damping characterization, mode shape evaluation, and advanced time-history and modal analysis techniques to ensure accurate and resilient structural performance.

Seismic Assessment and Retrofit of Reinforced Concrete

Seismic Assessment and Retrofitting of a Reinforced Concrete Frame

Many structures worldwide are seismically deficient, often resulting in catastrophic failures during earthquakes. Seismic retrofitting addresses these vulnerabilities by enhancing lateral load-carrying capacity through targeted interventions. I have conducted dynamic and pushover response analyses to model structural behavior under lateral loads, evaluate performance, and implement retrofit solutions. My experience includes applying fiber-reinforced polymers, steel cross-braces, and reinforced concrete jackets to significantly improve structural resilience.
