Associate Prof | Razi University | Iran
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mahnoosh Biglari is a researcher in earthquake engineering with extensive contributions spanning seismic vulnerability assessment, geotechnical earthquake engineering, and soil dynamics. Her research focuses on understanding the seismic behavior of structures and soils under complex loading conditions, with particular emphasis on unsaturated soil mechanics, site effects, and performance-based seismic assessment of buildings and infrastructure. Her scholarly work integrates experimental investigations, analytical modeling, and numerical simulations to evaluate shear modulus, damping characteristics, and hydro-mechanical behavior of soils under cyclic and seismic loading. A significant portion of her research advances empirical and analytical fragility models for reinforced concrete, steel, and masonry buildings, enabling improved prediction of earthquake-induced damage and collapse at both building and urban scales. These contributions have been widely applied in post-earthquake assessments and seismic risk mitigation studies.
