Shaking, Damage and Failure
Engineers require accurate estimates of strong ground motion in order to design structures to resist earthquake loads and reduce loss of life and property from damaging earthquakes. In addition, engineers need recordings of structural response to validate their design methodologies. In order to improve seismic hazard assessments, we need to advance our understanding of the physical processes that...
