Longueuil

• Assisted engineers in structural design of timber, steel and concrete structures according to the National Building Code of Canada and the relevant design standards• Elaborated finite element models and analyzed structures using SAP2000, ETABS and SAFE (linear and nonlinear analysis, vibrations and modal analysis)• Assisted engineers in field surveys, inspections and technical reports writing• Prepared engineering drawings (AutoCAD) and specifications for residential and commercial buildings

Sceaux, France

• Analyzed the performance of a wide variety of existing nuclear infrastructures under severe loads (earthquakes, blast, strong wind loads), including effects of soil-structure interaction• Conducted a performance-based design of new concrete and steel structures according to the French design standards and Eurocodes (institutional, industrial and research facilities)• Elaborated advanced finite element models for complex structures and provided quality control tools using Salomé Platform (French open-source software)• Trained new engineers at NECS on engineering tools, AutoCAD and Salomé

Région De Grenoble, France

• Processed ambient vibrations big-data recorded on different high-rise buildings and extracted dynamic properties (damping, frequencies and mode shapes), using time-domain and frequency-domain methods• Studied the environment-related changes in frequency and damping, as well as soil-structure interaction effects on the global movement of the structures• Performed sensitivity analysis for the used methods regarding measurements duration and sampling

Région De Paris, France

• Performed a comparative study between stochastic models of the seismic hazard in New Zealand• Carried out an extensive analysis of each model’s performance and compared results with the historical seismic record and the available Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) of the country• Tested site effects considerations and conformity to attenuation laws of the ground motion intensities provided by the models
