Dr. Mohammad Salehi’s research interests lie in the fields of computational modeling and experimental testing of structures, development of innovative/smart multi-hazard resilient structural systems, and life-cycle assessment of infrastructure networks. Dr. Salehi also has research experience in the area of dynamic soil-structure interaction (SSI).  Here are some of the specific topics of Dr. Salehi’s past and ongoing research:

• Effects of Soil Flexibility and Foundation Uplift on Seismic Performance of Steel Frames
• Analysis, Design, and Testing of Hybrid Sliding-Rocking Bridge Columns
• Damage Assessment and Collapse Analysis of RC Structures
• Modeling of Inherent Damping for Inelastic Dynamic Analysis of Structures
• Design and Testing of Innovative SMA-Based Structural Components
