Mourad BelgasmiaMourad Belgasmia is a Lecturer and Thesis Adviser joined the team of the Civil Engineering department of university of Bejaia (Algeria) on December 2001 as a lecturer (assistant professor), till 2008, Since 2008 till now with the team of the Civil Enineering department of university of Setif 1 (Algeria). He spent two years (from 2004 to 2006) at the laboratory of structural and continuum Mechanics at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, working then on seismic evaluation of existing structures and new structures using Pushover Analysis. And at several occasion since for shorter periods the work was mainly on approximate method for seismic evaluation of buildings this research is documented in two substantial internal reports. His responsibilities during this period in the laboratory of structural and continuum Mechanics at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology(EPFL) Switzerland (Lausanne) From July 2004 to July 2006 is Assistant of the implementation of new method in z-soil software. His teaching experience is Strength of materials, Finite element method, Continuum Mechanics, Steel Construction, Computer language programming, Structural Dynamic, Pre-stressed concrete.
