Research
Structural dynamics and modelling, vibration reduction systems, kinematics and dynamics of mechanisms, are parts of the researches that I traditionally carry out. Nowadays my research interests are framed into four main areas: geophysical rupture models, characterization of scenarios, synthetic ground movements, as well as the fragility of the housing, buildings, networks, and hospitals systems. My researches also focus on interactions models of human structure under extreme load conditions, and the behavior of human agents in extreme environmental conditions led by psychology.
I am working on these subjects under my affiliation to the National Research Center for Integrated Natural Disasters Management (CIGIDEN), led by PUC.
Research projects
Development and implementation of an integrated human-structure interaction model in geographical settings under severe earthquake loads
Research proposal abstract The world has experienced a dramatic increase in the number of disasters over the past two decades. For instance, during the period 1991-2010 a total of 1,600 disasters were recorded, representing a 30% increase relative to the […]
Project Fondecyt #1141187 integrates knowledge from civil engineering, psychology, and geography to develop a model to understand the behavior of human agents and their interactions with critical infrastructure during earthquakes [...]
Characterization of the Pisagua 2014 and Illapel 2015 Chile earthquakes using InSAR and GPS
[in Spanish] Dentro del área de investigación de Hazard Assessment dirigido por la Línea 1, CIGIDEN ha planteado como uno de sus objetivos el aportar con un modelo integrado para explicar la relación entre las fallas de la placa superior […]
Framed under CIGIDEN, the project seeks to characterize the ground motion of the latest megathrust earthquakes in Chile [...]
Evaluation and upgrading of the earthquake response of shear-wall buildings after the large 2010, Chile earthquake
This project aimed to understand the key aspects of the behavior observed in shear wall buildings that underwent seismic damage during the February 27th, Chile earthquake. About 2% of the more than 2000 buildings of 9 stories or more that compose […]
Project Fondecyt #1110377 executed from 2011 to 2013 with great results. A total of 12 ISI publications and 12 international congress publications and presentations were generated under the project. Besides, 18 students (undergrad and graduate) participated of this project [...]
