Research

Dimitris Karamitros is accepting applications for PhD students.

Research Interests

  • Performance-based design of buried pipelines against transient and permanent ground displacements (e.g. seismic wave propagation, earthquake faulting, landslides, differential settlement/heave, underground works)
  • Advanced constitutive modelling of the monotonic and cyclic behaviour of granular soils and numerical implementation into 2d- and 3d- finite-difference codes
  • Performance-based design of shallow footings and pile foundations against earthquake-induced liquefaction
  • Non-linear seismic ground response & dynamic soil-foundation-structure interaction
  • Shaking-table & centrifuge experiments on dynamic soil-structure-interaction
