Research Accomplishments 2000-2001 (10,862 kb)
The Student Leadership Council (SLC) is a formal
incarnation of the students who are involved in performing MCEER research
under a faculty advisor. Since its inception, MCEER has included and
encouraged student efforts throughout its research program and in all of the
disciplinary specialties concerned with earthquake engineering.
Throughout the years, students have been an integral
component in advancing research in earthquake hazard mitigation. Many former
students are now in academia, professional practice or government agencies
applying knowledge gained during their exposure to MCEER research. While
associated with MCEER, students participate in annual Center Investigator
meetings, attend conferences, workshops and seminars, and have the opportunity
to make presentations at these events. The SLC was formed last year to
formalize these programs and to afford students from many different
institutions the opportunity to meet with each other and develop/improve
interaction.
The idea for this first issue of the Student Research
Accomplishments was conceived by the SLC and features the work of some of
MCEER’s current students. Topics range from traditional civil and lifeline
engineering to applications of advanced technologies to social impacts and
economic modeling. Papers are presented in two formats: full length, which
provide details on the background/motivation for the research, a brief view of
prominent work in the area of research, proposed technique/methodology
employed, current status of work, how it advanced the state of the art,
results from experiments/simulations and how it will be expended in the
future. The abstracts either summarize the research, or expand on one of the
points listed above.
This issue was coordinated and edited by Gauri Guha, a
Ph.D. candidate in the department of energy, environmental & mineral
economics at the Pennsylvania State University. MCEER acknowledges Mr. Guha's
efforts as well as those of the individual contributors. MCEER also wishes to
extend its thanks to the Student Leadership Council for its endeavors, and in
particular to Ms. Ani Natali Sigaher for her able guidance of the SLC.
