Research Interests
Greatest achievement so far:The empirical relation
of ground motion amplification with the slope
material properties, slope height and the frequency
or wavelength of the earthquake signal is found in
terms of amplification as a function of those
parameters. Among the parameters, the variation of
ground motion amplification with the slope height
and the wavelength of input wave is most useful for
Nepal as the new slopes during road cut can be
designed using this relationship so that the slopes
will have less chance of failure during earthquake.
It should be noted here that most of the road
construction in Nepal is done by cut and fill method
for which the design of height of the slope is most
complicated and challenging task for engineers.
Hence, slope collapse along the road corridor and
also natural slopes will be significantly reduced if
slopes are designed using findings of my research.
