About the Conference: Throughout history we have seen the devasta ng effects of earthquakes in high seismic regions across the world. Recently, in Italy, Chile, Nepal and
Indonesia earthquakes with large magnitudes have caused serious loss of life and severe damage to infrastructures, making everyday living extreme-
ly difficult. Risks also arise from tsunamis, seen from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, necessita ng a global response to reduce hazards in
nuclear power plants. The economic and life losses associated with earthquakes are mostly related, directly or indirectly, to damage of buildings and
infrastructure. Popula on growth and poorly built housing are among the factors which have increased vulnerability to disasters following earth-
quakes. Seismic resilient infrastructure and risk reduc on in developing countries are very important to reduce both the long term and short term
natural hazards. SeismiCON 2019 will bring together interna onal experts from academia and industry in the field of earthquake and geotechnical
engineering, providing the opportunity to share and discuss their work and experiences with a focus on seismic design and analysis of structures and
founda ons.

Prof.GeorgeMylonakis,UniversityofBristol,UK
Stresses in soils due to seismic soil-structure interac on loads
George Mylonakis is Professor at the University of Bristol, where he leads the Earthquake & Geotechnical Engineering Research Group. He specialises in geotechnical earthquake engineering and soil-structure interaction with emphasis on pile foundations and retaining structures. He is recipient of the Shamsher Prakash Research Award (2002), the City University of New York’s Performance Excellence Award (1999) and a Nominee for the 2001 Best Paper Award of the Japanese Geotechnical Society (2001). He has co-authored over 200 scientific publications (over 70 in peer-reviewed journals), delivered more than 50 invited talks around the world, and served in the Editorial Board of 5 mainstream journals, including Ge-otechnique. He has been coordinator of numerous sponsored research projects. Findings from this research have attracted over 1000 citations by independent researchers. He is also affiliated with the University of Patras and UCLA.

Prof.MohamedElGawady,MissouriUniversityofScienceandTechnology,USA
Recent developments in seismic behaviour of hollow-core bridge columns
Mohamed A. ElGawady, Ph. D., is Benavides Professor at Missouri University of Science and Technology (formerly University of Missouri-Rolla) with 20 years of experience in extreme loadings and sustainability. He held positions at Washington State University, University of Auckland, University of South Australia, and Tokyo Institute of Technology. He also worked as a structural engineer for three years. His research addresses the performance of existing structures under man-made and natural hazards. He has devel-oped innovative structural systems and sustainable materials to mitigate extreme events. He is heavily involved in different design and construction codes such as The Masonry Society Building Code, Ameri-can Concrete Institute Code, and Transportation Research Board. He is the Chair of ACI/ASCE Committee 441 on reinforced concrete columns and the ACI 341A on seismic behaviour of bridge columns, the Sec-retary for the Prestressed Masonry Committee, and Co-Chair the Masonry Research Committee. He co-authored 70 referred journal papers and 120 conference papers. Dr. ElGawady graduated 13 MS stu-dents and 6 PhD students. His work has been recognized through the inaugural Benavides Endowment Award, Joseph H. Senne, Jr. Academy of Civil Engineers Faculty Achievement Award, and Missouri Uni-versity of Science and Technology Faculty Excellence Award. Dr. ElGawady’s research is sponsored by Missouri Department of Natural Resources, US Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Admin-istration, University Transportation Center, Mid-America Transportation Center, Transportation North-west, Missouri Department of Transportation, and Washington State Department of Transportation. Prof.PhillipeGuéguen,UniversitéGrenobleAlpes,France
Structural health monitoring applied to civil engineering buildings a er earthquakes
using strong and weak mo on data
Prof. Philippe Guéguen is a senior research scientist at the Earth Sciences Institute (ISTerre, University Grenoble Alpes/CNRS) and at IFSTTAR. He obtained his PhD degree in Geophysics in 2000 from the Jo-seph Fourier University in Grenoble. Since then, he has been working mainly in engineering seismology and earthquake engineering. His research is related with seismic vulnerability and strong ground mo-tion, with a special emphasis on the effects of free-field ground motion on buildings, soil-structure inter-action, structural health monitoring and seismic risk at the urban scale. He was Director of the French Accelerometric Network (2004-2011 and 2014-2017) and initiated the National Building Array pro-gramme. He also participated in various national and European projects as coordinator (ANR-Urban Seismology; Interreg RiskNat) or participant (NERIES-FP6, NERA-FP7, Strest-FP7). He is co-owner of an US and European Patent for an ambient vibration measurement tool. He published more than 60 papers in peer-review journals.
