Projects
Earthquake Engineering Project, Spring 2013
l Designed 13-story concrete building (150x150x145ft) with two moment-resistant-frames in downtown L.A.
l Improved the seismic performance of building by implementing base isolation devices
l Took charged of designing base isolation devices and make it decrease 23% of base shear and story drift
Finite Element Analysis Project, Spring 2013
l Wrote FE program using Fortran 95 to solve nodal displacements and stresses of a structure
l Got the similar results when compared the outputs obtained from the program with GT STRUDL
l Obtained the knowledge of principle of finite element method and made practice in this project
Matrix Structural Analysis Project, Fall 2012
l Used Fortran 95 to write program to solve joint displacements and member forces of a 500 pinned joints structure
l Implemented less than 2% difference between the program and results from GT STRUDL
l Understood the procedure of how computer do the calculation of structural analysis
Wood Structure Project with APA-The Engineered Wood Association, Fall 2010-Spring 2011 l Studied relevant literature and drafted the regulation of wood structure
l Collaborated with National Center of Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE)
Wu-She Reservoir Sediment Deposition Project, Fall 2010
l Did field survey of Wu-She Reservoir and used the data to build up hydraulic model
l Used the model to figure out the possible solutions to sedimentary problems in the reservoir l Made presentation to government and relevant experts
Skid Resistance of Manholes Evaluation Project,...
