Geotechnical earthquake engineering, liquefaction, slope stability, ground improvement, and soil–structure interaction
Seismic design, assessment, retrofit, strengthening, and performance of buildings and infrastructure
Performance-based design, low-damage design, and resilient structural and non-structural systems
Lifelines, transport, ports, water, energy, and critical infrastructure resilience

Lessons from recent earthquakes, reconnaissance, post-earthquake assessment, repair, recovery, and reconstruction
Professional practice case studies, including design, construction, consenting, procurement, and project delivery
Tsunami, landslides, cascading hazards, multi-hazard risk, loss modelling, insurance, and decision-making
Community, cultural, social, policy, planning, governance, codes, standards, and emergency management aspects of resilience
