RESEARCH
In order to develop seismic codes that can effectively mitigate damage to wood-frame construction under seismic activity, the dynamic characteristics of wood-frame buildings must be well understood.
Toward this end, my current data interpretation project focuses on the dynamic behavior of low-rise wooden shearwall buildings under large seismic motions. The procedure includes determining the modal parameters and extracting hysteretic characteristics from the available records.

My research is the response of nonlinear high-rise buildings under large subduction earthquakes. We are considering 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake (Mw8.3), 2004 Great Sumatra-Andaman (Mw9.2) and senario Cascadia subduction earthquake (Mw9.2)
