DOMENICO GAUDIO

Key Research Topics

• Investigation of the seismic behaviour of onshore and offshore wind turbines through experimental (geotechnical centrifuge) and numerical (3D finite element) modelling;

• study of the seismic performance of bridge piers on caisson foundations using experimental (geotechnical centrifuge) and numerical (3D finite element) modelling;

• liquefaction;

• performance-based design of geosynthetic-reinforced earth retaining walls and slopes subjected to intense seismic events;

• analysis of the seismic behaviour of deep excavations in urban areas through numerical (3D finite element) modelling;

• debris flow propagation using the Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics method.
