Research Title: Influence of Pumice on the System Response of Buildings with Shallow Foundations under Seismic Loading
Main Supervisor: Mark Stringer
Co-supervisors: Misko Cubrinovski and Chris McGann
Research interests:
Geotechnical Engineering and Earthquake Engineering
My research focus on the liquefaction and soil-structure interaction in the context of volcanic soils (specifically pumice-rich soils).听 Pumice-rich soils have some unique properties, including being very crushable, which present challenges for traditional engineering design tools.听 I am studying the behaviour and liquefaction resistance of pumice-rich soils to develop more suitable, resilient design methods for buildings and infrastructure in areas with pumice-rich soils.
