| Other Activities within Engineering and Teaching Professions
·
Presented five short courses in Nevada and California
on Liquefaction, Seismic Bridge Abutment Design,
and Seism ic Response; Delivered as many as 70 presentations in conferences, meetings,
and seminars.
·
Received 1997 Shamsher Prakash Foundation Citation for the work on Dynamic Soil-Structure
Interaction and Stability of Retaining Structures
under Earthquakes.
·
Investigator (PI and Co. PI) of projects totaling more than $2.4
million from a wide variety of sources including,
federal (NSF, ARO, DOE, NCHRP, Engineering Foundation),
state (Nevada, California),
and other sources (e.g. SCEC, EPRI, MCEER).
·
Developed many software- notable ones are TARA and MOVLOAD. A modified
version of TARA program is
routinely used by WES in their seismic response
analyses of dams.
·
Served as a Member of many ASCE Technical Committees (Soil Dynamics,
Computer Applications, Shock and Vibratory Effects)
and EERI and had been a reviewer of proposals and
reports for the NSF, ASCE, and US Army.
·
Awards:
1996 EERI Student Research Paper Competition Award was
presented to Mahmoud EL-
Gamal. His paper was
based on his Ph.D. work carried out under my supervision.
