| Carlo Giovanni Lai research interests are in earthquake geotechnical engineering and engineering seismology with special regard to stochastic ground response analyses, probabilistic and deterministic seismic hazard assessment, theoretical modeling of seismic wave propagation in geomaterials, dynamic soil-structure interaction and definition of the design earthquake at critical construction sites. He has been coordinator of several research projects on various subjects of earthquake geotechnical engineering and engineering seismology funded by public and private agencies in Italy and abroad. Recently Prof. Lai was the technical lead of LiquefACT, a three and a half years H2020 European research project on the assessment and mitigation of soil liquefaction potential across Europe. He authored/co-authored more than 240 scientific publications including two books and one software package tool for the geotechnical characterization of soil deposits via surface Rayleigh wave analysis. |
