Zhiyong Chen(陈志勇)

Research interests: (1) Advanced multidisciplinary numerical simulation of wood-based products, timber connections and building systems under various actions, e.g. earthquake, wind, fire. (2) Mechanics-based analytical modelling of timber structural systems. (3) Seismic performance of pure- or hybrid-timber structural systems. (4) Resilient/low-damage timber structural systems, e.g. post-tensioning systems and seismic isolation systems. (5) Structural performance of ancient timber structures
