Jack Moehle
Jack Moehle is the Ed and Diane Wilson Presidential Professor of Structural Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley.
Education[edit]
Jack Moehle received his B.S. (1977), M.S. (1978), and Ph.D. (1980) in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois.[1][2]
Professional career[edit]
Moehle joined the University of California, Berkeley faculty in 1980. He was the director of the Earthquake Engineering Research Center at Berkeley from 1991 to 2001[3] In 1996 he became the founding director of the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center, where he served until 2008. He was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2014, for contributions to earthquake-resistant design and analysis of building structures, and for leadership in engineering education.[4]
He is the author of the textbook, Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings.[5]
He has helped lead development of numerous codes and guidelines for the design and retrofit of structures, including Guidelines for Evaluation and Repair of Masonry and Concrete Walls (FEMA 306); Guidelines for Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings (FEMA 273 and ASCE 356), Performance-Based Seismic Assessment Procedures (FEMA P-58[6]), and Guidelines for Performance-Based Seismic Design of Tall Buildings (Tall Buildings Initiative, PEER).[7]
