Impact and Mitigation of seismic SURFace waves on large 3D structures

CentraleSupélec

CentraleSupélec

CentraleSupélec develops applications of continuum mechanics to multiphase-material behaviour, with extensive research in soil dynamics and soil-structure interaction, particularly earthquake engineering. Over roughly 30 years, and in collaboration with numerous industrial partners, its LMPS laboratory (formerly MSS-Mat) has developed three numerical codes for 3D deterministic and stochastic simulation — GEFDyn, MISS3D and SEM3D — and has taken part in national and European projects including SINAPS@, VEDA, EVSIM, Isolate, Asiri+SDS and the earlier ANR MODULATE project.

Role in IM-SURF

CentraleSupélec leads WP4 (Development of Numerical Techniques for Seismic SSI Calculations with Complete Wave Regime and Presence of Strong Nonlinearities in the Near Field), providing expertise in numerical simulation of soil-structure interaction and surface-wave effects on seismic demand.

Team

Fernando Lopez-Caballero, Professor — WP4 leader.

Also contributing: Valeria Soto-Moncada, Researcher/PhD; and a doctoral student to be recruited for the project.
