Welcome to my faculty page! I am Ravi Ravichandran, an Associate Professor in Geotechnical Engineering at Clemson University. My core background is on finite element and discrete element theory and software development for multiphase porous media. My research team is currently working on the following topics:

(a) Seismic site response analysis (equivalent linear and nonlinear), strong motion prediction theory, and software development.

(b) Understanding the extreme hydroclimatic events on geotechnical systems and updating current design procedures (coupled finite element modeling and model scale experiments).

(c) Development of bio-inspired foundation configuration and design procedure.

(d) Reliability-based robust design of geotechnical systems.

I am available for collaboration and consulting!
