Research summary
AI-generated

Patrick Bassal's research focuses on geotechnical earthquake engineering, particularly how soil liquefaction (a process where saturated soil temporarily loses strength during shaking) causes ground deformation and building damage during earthquakes. Much of the recent work involves field investigations of the 2023 Turkey earthquakes and the development of methods to predict liquefaction-induced ground movement, including how variability in soil conditions affects these predictions. This research supports the design of building codes and seismic safety provisions.

Publication output was low and sporadic before 2020, then increased notably with a large spike in 2024 (likely tied to studies of the 2023 Turkey earthquakes), averaging about 4 papers per year over the last five years.
