Tiziana Rossetto
 |
|
| Specialisation |
Earthquake engineering, seismic vulnerability of structures, structural dynamics |
| Research interests | Dr Tiziana Rossetto is currently a lecturer in earthquake engineering and geohazards in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at University College London. She is a structural engineer who specialises in earthquake resistant design and seismic assessment. She also has a sound knowledge of all aspects of earthquake engineering and seismology. Her current interests lie in the seismic vulnerability assessment of reinforced concrete building populations using innovative analysis and assessment techniques. She is also carrying out theoretical and experimental research into the development of a structural damage scale for use in displacement-based seismic assessment techniques. Dr Rossetto has also been on field missions to the areas affected by the Bhuj Earthquake (India 2001) and Indian Ocean Tsunami (Indonesia 2004). |
