Research
Interests
-
Near-fault ground motion simulation using
kinematic model and investigation of fault
local parameters (ex. Asperity dimensions
and locations, distribution of slip, rupture
propagation direction…) on near-fault strong
ground motion characteristics.
-
Evaluation of building damage and
investigation on damage rates and its
relation with ground motion parameters (e.x.
PGA, PGV, PGD) and seismic intensity;
estimation of damage ratio and death rate
functions as well as database construction
of seismic damage buildings and human injury
based on damage survey.
-
Wave propagation in heterogeneous media,
rotational ground motion (torsion and
rocking) characteristics and their effect on
the structural response.
-
Microteromor and earthquake data processing
and introducing a new method (so called
Segmental cross-spectrum) in spectral
analysis of microtremors and earthquake data
for site response analysis and seismic
microzonation; Ground motion cross-coupling
and its effect on soil amplification and
structural response characteristics.
-
Parametric and Non-parametric linear and
non-linear system identification as well as
application of ARX model for
back-calculation of dynamic soil properties;
Application of SASW (spectral analysis of
surface waves) and SPAC (spatial
autocorrelation method) techniques in
identification of subsoil structures.
Active Projects
-
Study
on the characteristics of rotational ground
motion using 3D dense array data.
