Dr. Hushmand has more than 30 years of experience In geotechnical <br />and environmental design, research, testing, and applications, <br />specializing in soil dynamics and analysis and design of soll-structure <br />systems. He has managed and acted as lead engineer in some of <br />the most challenging national and private projects of the last two <br />decades involving seismic hazard evaluations and geotechnical <br />Investigations for large public works, Including transportation, port <br />and marine, water resources, Industrial, and commercial projects; <br />design and seismic evaluation of critical facilities such as schools <br />and hospitals, police stations, 911 centers, and traffic management <br />centers; dynamic load response evaluation of bridges, dams, and <br />underground structures; development of large databases for load <br />carrying capacity of highway bridges and culverts; Ilquefactlon <br />potential evaluations for dams and marine structures; soil -structure <br />Interaction problems of foundations and retaining structures; site- <br />specific seismicity evaluations; physical modeling similitude studies <br />of engineering and geologic systems at normal and elevated gravity; <br />and large scale subsurface exploration and geotechnical design of <br />buried structures, <br />Dr. Hushmand has worked on many projects studying the dynamic <br />behavior of shallow foundations, piles, gravity base offshore <br />platforms, dams, bridges, retaining walls, and liquefiable soils. He <br />has specialized expertise related to experimental and computer <br />modeling studies of the dynamic response of ports, bridges, landfills, <br />earth structures and shallow and deep foundations. His broad and <br />extensive background in dynamic testing has been recognized <br />Internationally, and he Is one of a select cadre of renowned experts in <br />this field. <br />Relevant Experience <br />Sixth Street Viaduct Replacement & Park Projects, Los <br />Angeles, CA. Project Manager responsible for performing <br />Environmental Phase II and Phase 111 Site Assessment studies <br />on the site subsurface soil conditions at Sixth Street Viaduct for <br />environmental evaluation, and characterizing subsurface soil <br />conditions. HAI is currently providing environmental and geotechnical <br />site Investigations for the viaduct replacement project and for a park <br />and recreational facility along the bridge alignment by LA River. The <br />services Include performing field Investigation consisting of soil vapor <br />and soil sampling, laboratory testing of the obtained soil vapor and <br />soli samples, and providing recommendations for handling observed <br />contamination at the project sites.
