Doctoral student | Islamic Azad University | Iran
Gholamreza Keyvani Hafshejani from the Islamic Azad University, Shahrekord Branch, Iran, has focused research on the seismic response of irregular neighboring structures founded at varying embedment depths with an emphasis on soil-structure interaction. His study, published in Structures (2025), explores how differences in foundation embedment and structural irregularities affect seismic performance, a critical issue in earthquake engineering and urban structural design. The research integrates analytical and numerical simulations to assess how differential soil behavior influences dynamic responses, including displacement, inter-story drift, and base shear, under seismic excitation. Keyvani Hafshejani’s work provides valuable insights into the interaction between soil layers and structural foundations, emphasizing the importance of considering soil-structure coupling effects when designing earthquake-resistant buildings. The research outcomes serve as an important reference for engineers and researchers seeking to enhance safety and resilience in infrastructure exposed to seismic hazards. His contributions contribute to the advancement of structural engineering knowledge by offering a framework to improve design codes and develop adaptive mitigation strategies for complex urban environments. This integrated approach ensures optimized seismic performance, minimizing structural vulnerabilities while promoting sustainable urban development.
