New Year, New Faculty

The department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering is excited to announce two new faculty members. Dr. Patrick McNamara will be joining the environmental engineering area group while Dr. Ting Lin is joining the structural engineering and structural mechanics area group.

Presentations

Dr. Ting Lin presented a poster entitled "Tall building response to simulated pulse-like ground motions", co-authored with Nenad Bijelic and Greg Deierlein (Stanford), as part of the Earthquake Engineering Implementation Interface (EEII) program at the 2013 SCEC Annual Meeting in Palm Springs, CA.

Dr. Ting Lin gave an invited talk on the recently funded project entitled "Validation of earthquake simulations and their effects on tall buildings considering spectral shape and duration" in the SCEC Ground Motion Simulation Validation (GMSV) Technical Activity Group (TAG) Workshop in Palm Springs, CA.
