Phuong H.V. Truong, born in Saigon Vietnam, received his
Bachelor of Civil Engineering from the National Technical Center in Saigon Vietnam,
Master of Engineering (Geotechnical Engineering) from the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Bangkok Thailand,
Graduate Diploma in International Trade from the Deakin University in Melbourne, Victoria Australia; and
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Civil Engineering from the University of Melbourne in Melbourne, Victoria Australia.
He had worked for many companies in different countries; mainly
(i) Lecturer in National Technical Center, Saigon Vietnam for 5 years,
(ii) as Civil/Geotechnical engineer for the Roads Construction Authority (VicRoads) for 13 years, and received the 1988 Bicentennial Award from the Roads Construction Authority (VicRoads) in Victoria Australia in 1988; and
(iii) as Transportation Engineer for the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in California USA for 9 years; and published more than 38 papers in bridge designs, soil dynamics, geotechnical earthquake engineering and tsunamis.
He has developed many new expressions in soil dynamics, water dynamics, geotechnical earthquake engineering, and tsunamis, e..g. dynamic stiffness, dynamic damping, dynamic soil mass, dynamic water mass, dynamic water stiffness, dynamic spring constants, dynamic water height, dynamic tsunami height, dynamic excess pore water pressure, dynamic liquefaction factors and seismic impedance moments. Especially, he has recently suggested to use air bubbles to reduce tsunami heights to save human lives since 2010.
His current main research interests are soil dynamics, geotechnical earthquake engineering, tsunamis and biomechanical Engineering.
