Seismic Analysis and Design of Building Structures

Dr. Yail Jimmy Kim is President of the Bridge Engineering Institute, An International Technical Society, and Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Colorado Denver, USA. He has over 30 years of civil and structural engineering experience and is an active member of numerous technical and scientific/organizing committees of renowned international conferences. He has been the recipient of numerous institutional, national, and international awards including the prestigious Chester Paul Siess Award for Excellence in Structural Research bestowed on him by the American Concrete Institute. His research interests encompass advanced composite materials for rehabilitation, structural informatics, complex systems, and science-based structural engineering, including statistical, interfacial, and quantum physics. Dr. Kim is also a Fellow of the American Concrete Institute.
