1 Associate Civil Engineering th Street, Suite 400 Oakland, CA (510) tel Professional Profile Dr. Maharjan specializes in geotechnical engineering and earthquake engineering. Her expertise includes performance assessment of ordinary and critical structures under extreme loading such as earthquakes, wind etc. Dr. Maharjan has substantial experience with the nuclear power generating industry. Her work has focused on the interpretation of subsurface conditions, ground motion generation/selection/scaling, signal processing and seismic data interpretation, and in evaluating seismic performance through soilstructure interaction. Dr. Maharjan has provided consultation on design and performance of retaining walls, embankments and levees. Her technical expertise also includes slope stability, evaluation of earth retaining structures, dams, foundations, and excavations. She has extensive experience in seismic hazard assessment, liquefaction assessment, and design of liquefaction mitigation measures. Dr. Maharjan is experienced in the analysis, design and evaluation of new and existing structures, seismic and static soil-structure interaction, settlement analysis, ground investigations, site response analysis, centrifuge modeling, and laboratory testing of soils. She has in-depth research experience in analyzing and evaluating the deformation of embankments resting on liquefiable non-homogeneous foundations under sequential ground motions. Dr. Maharjan was involved in the ground investigation and seismic data interpretation of the Wylfa Newydd Nuclear Power Plant (to be constructed in Wales). She evaluated seismic risk and performed seismic soil-structure interaction analyses of the Hinkley Point C Nuclear Power Plant (to be constructed in Somerset, England). She has worked on the design of deep excavations, raft foundations, retaining walls and manmade slopes for nuclear power plant buildings. Dr. Maharjan has conducted seismic hazard assessments for an oil extraction site in Kenya. She has performed extensive research on the experimental behavior and numerical simulation of liquefaction mechanisms in non-homogeneous soil deposits. She has expertise in testing dynamic soil properties, analysis of the dynamic behavior of slopes, embankments and levees during earthquakes and evaluation of soil improvement measures. Dr. Maharjan was involved in the investigation and assessment of geotechnical damage and impacts caused by the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake, the 2011 Nepal-Sikkim Earthquake, and the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake. She has performed extensive geotechnical earthquake engineering work in Nepal, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Kenya. Prior to joining Exponent, Dr. Maharjan worked in geotechnical engineering design in the United Kingdom. Dr. Maharjan s doctoral research focused on the liquefaction-induced deformation of embankments on non-homogeneous liquefiable foundations. At the Tokyo Institute of Technology, she served as a graduate student researcher and was the teaching assistant for undergraduate courses in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. Dr. Maharjan served as a visiting research scholar at the University of California, Davis. 01/19 Page 1
