Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Mohammadyar Rahimi's research focuses on geophysical methods for characterizing subsurface conditions and improving soil mechanics. He has investigated the use of geophysical techniques for imaging subsurface voids of various sizes and depths, and developed multi-method geophysical approaches for complex shallow landslide characterization. Rahimi has also studied methods to improve bearing capacity, including the use of soil-filled post-consumer PET bottles and geocell-reinforced beds anchored with additional vertical elements. His work addresses challenges in detecting geological features, such as thin clay layers under levees, using electrical resistivity tomography. Rahimi collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Clinton M. Wood and Kevin M. Befus, with whom he has multiple shared publications. His work has resulted in 23 publications and 388 citations, with an h-index of 8.
