Overview

Michel Bruneau is affiliated with the University at Buffalo, State University of New York in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on engineering, with a significant emphasis on civil and structural engineering, as well as related subfields such as building and construction, political science and international relations, sociology and political science, and electrical and electronic engineering.

The main topics covered in their work include:

  • Structural Load-Bearing Analysis
  • Seismic Performance and Analysis
  • Structural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete
  • Structural Engineering and Vibration Analysis
  • Structural Health Monitoring Techniques
  • Advanced MEMS and NEMS Technologies
  • Infrastructure Resilience and Vulnerability Analysis

Their recent publications highlight a focus on resilience, seismic design, and composite structural elements. Selected recent papers include:

  • "Seismic resilience of building inventory towards resilient cities," 2022, published in Resilient Cities and Structures
  • "Cyclic behavior of c-shaped composite plate shear walls - Concrete filled," 2020, published in Engineering Structures
  • "Resilience deficit index for quantification of resilience," 2022, published in Resilient Cities and Structures
  • "Seismic design coefficients and factors for coupled composite plate shear walls/concrete filled (CC-PSW/CF)," 2021, published in Engineering Structures
  • "Functionality measures for quantification of building seismic resilience index," 2021, published in Engineering Structures

Bruneau often collaborates with peers such as Emre Kizilarslan, Hadi Kenarangi, Homero Carrion-Cabrera, Jia-Hau Liu, and Amit H. Varma. These frequent coauthors have contributed to developing research in structural and seismic engineering fields.

The venues where Bruneau most frequently publishes comprise:

  • Journal of Structural Engineering
  • L'Espace géographique
  • Engineering Structures
  • The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
  • Resilient Cities and Structures

This body of work reflects ongoing contributions to structural engineering with particular attention to seismic performance, building resilience, and the composite behavior of construction materials and systems.
