Professor (By Courtesy), Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences |
Ronnie Borja works in theoretical and
computational solid mechanics and geomechanics. His
research includes developing strain localization models for geomaterials,
modeling lateral flow and liquefaction-induced ground movement, finite element
modeling of dynamic soil-fluid-structure interaction phenomena, developing
nonlinear models for earthquake site response analysis, and modeling
multi-scale phenomena in structural and solid mechanics. His current research
projects include the investigation and mathematical modeling of brittle
faulting and cataclastic flow in high-porosity rocks
using fracture mechanics, bifurcation theory, and embedded discontinuity finite
element techniques. Professor Borja has been involved
in a project for the intervention and restoration measures for the Tower of Pisa, and in the
finite element modeling of the dynamic soil-foundation-structure interaction
response of the South Memnon Colossus in
