Numerical Simulation of LECA-Based Geotechnical Seismic Isolation
This project develops a numerical simulation framework for evaluating the dynamic response of soil-pile-structure systems protected by a lightweight expanded clay aggregate isolation curtain. The central idea is to study how a geotechnical isolation layer placed around the foundation zone can modify the transfer of seismic energy from the surrounding soil to the supported structure.

Optimizing Problematic Soil Stabilization
This study investigates how problematic fine-grained soils can be improved through a coordinated stabilization strategy based on lime, nano-zeolite, and controlled curing conditions. The work combines a structured experimental program with machine learning analysis to understand how multiple variables interact and to identify the most effective conditions for strength development.

Numerical Assessment of Lightweight-Aggregate-Concrete BRBF Systems
This project presents a software-oriented assessment of the seismic response of lightweight-aggregate-concrete (LWA) buckling-restrained braced frame systems. The work focuses on processing dynamic response data, extracting system-level indicators, and comparing the LWA configuration with conventional concrete and tire-derived aggregate concrete benchmark systems.
