| East Coast Seismicity, Ground Motions, and Liquefaction Seminar |
| |
| April 25, 2000 |
| |
| Brief Description |
| |
This course was offered in Dulles, Virginia on April 25, 2000. Professor Mitchell and Professor Martin covered the characteristics and distributions of earthquakes in the Eastern U.S., methods for estimating the potential shaking intensity and duration, and recent developments in building codes and sources of information for engineering design. The latest procedures for evaluating the liquefaction potential at specific sites were presented. Course Notes Available |
