Ronaldo I. Borja Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Professor (By Courtesy), Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences Geomechanics; Solid Mechanics; Computational Mechanics; Geotechnical Engineering
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 Luxor, Egypt.
