    Seda Gokyer Erbis + 1 Other Speaker

    Speakers

    Seda Gokyer Erbis, Ph.D.

    Project Manager at Geocomp Consulting

    Dr. Gokyer Erbis is a geotechnical engineer with 10 years of experience in research, development, and consulting in geotechnical earthquake engineering. She has been leading the technical efforts for one of Geocomp’s largest consulting projects on seismic assessment of coal ash impoundments. She has worked on various research and consulting projects that involved advanced field and laboratory testing for soil characterization. These projects include undrained behavior of coal combustion residuals, soil liquefaction and post-liquefaction behavior under different test conditions: cyclic triaxial, unidirectional and bidirectional direct simple shear, inducing partial saturation for liquefaction mitigation. She also has background in seismic instrumentation and numerical modeling. She has experience in using software tools to assess slope stability (GeoStudio), to conduct site response analysis (ProShake, DeepSoil), to analyze soil structure interaction (PYWall, Group), to model flow and transport in saturated/unsaturated porous media (SUTRA). She has authored and co-authored several publications in peer reviewed ASCE and ASTM journals and conference proceedings.

    Antonios Vytiniotis, Ph.D. P.E.

    Director, Group Lead, Massachusetts Consulting, Geocomp

    Dr. Vytiniotis is a member of the Geo-Institute’s Deep Foundation and Computation Geotechnics committees and a regional Director for the Society of Construction Law – North America.  He has background in structural and geotechnical engineering, geotechnical earthquake engineering, and numerical analysis. Dr. Vytiniotis has worked on numerous projects in more than 20 states and multiple countries, assisting project owners, law firms, insurance companies and developers. His analyses consist of assessing soil improvement, soil-structure interaction, dam safety, causation of MSE wall failures, effects of adjacent construction (such as vibrations or pile driving), soil heave or settlements, pipeline installation, water intrusion, and backfill quality. Dr. Vytiniotis is experienced in evaluating slope stability, performing mechanical and flow-through-porous media finite element analyses and soil-structure interaction using various software such as Plaxis, Flac, Geostudio, ABAQUS, LPILE, FEFLOW and GROUP. Additionally, he has experience in data analysis, signal processing and GIS.  Dr. Vytiniotis has performed research on the seismic response of pile-supported wharves, seismic slope stability, the effectiveness of prefabricated vertical drains (earthquake drains) and soil densification in reducing liquefaction risk, the effect of gravel drains in amplifying seismic accelerations, and numerical simulations of centrifuge experiments. In the past, He gained international experience in Greece and Switzerland, and was appointed lecturer at MIT.
