معرفی
Dr. Max Sieber is a Lecturer at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering at ETH Zurich. His research focuses on geotechnical engineering and seismic design, particularly the seismic performance of structures such as bridges and foundations under extreme loading conditions. He leads the Geotechnical Centrifuge Center and Soil Testing Laboratories at ETH Zurich, advancing experimental and computational methods for understanding structural behavior. His work emphasizes simplified analysis techniques for rocking foundations, nonlinear soil-structure interaction, and cost-effective design strategies for bridges subjected to seismic and faulting hazards.
Key research interests include 3D finite element analysis, fragility analysis of rocking systems, and sustainable seismic design principles. His contributions address critical challenges in bridge engineering, fault displacement modeling, and resilient infrastructure development. Collaborative projects involve advancing numerical models for dynamic soil response and validating simplified methods against experimental data.
