GEOTECHNICAL EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING – A Berkeley Virtual Short Course Series, February – April 2024

UC Berkeley Faculty (Bray, Zekkos, Athanasopoulos-Zekkos, Abrahamson, Sitar, Kayen) have put together an online modular short course Series on Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering. The course focuses on key concepts and recent advances in geotechnical earthquake engineering and is offered in three modules in February, March and April.

  • In the first short course module, engineering seismicity is reviewed with a focus on characterizing and selecting design ground motions and seismic site response analyses.
  • In the second short course module, soil liquefaction is explored: field and laboratory observations of the cyclic response of soils are discussed; simplified liquefaction triggering procedures are presented; focus is placed on the effects of liquefaction through evaluation of the residual shear strength of liquefied material and liquefaction-induced ground displacements and their effects on structures; mitigation techniques are presented.
  • In the third short course module, seismic considerations related to seismic slope stability, dams, levees, embankments and retaining systems are presented.

Question and answer sessions provide opportunities to discuss selected concepts in greater detail. Each attendee will be given course notes that support the lectures. More information and registration for this course can be found here as well as in this leaflet.

Earthquake-Induced Soil Liquefaction: From Small to Large Scale – Geosciences Special Issue

The special issue of Geosciesces titled “Earthquake-Induced Soil Liquefaction: From Small to Large Scale” focuses on laboratory tests and physical models on liquefiable soils, prediction of excess pore-water pressure, liquefaction in intermediate soils, countermeasures against liquefaction, numerical models for liquefiable soils, post-liquefaction behaviour of sands, mapping on liquefaction hazards and soil structure interaction with liquefiable soils. Deadline for manuscript submissions: April 30, 2024. More info on this flyer and at this web-page.

 

 

ADVANCES IN EARTHQUAKE GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING – Geosciences Special Issue

The special issue of Geosciencies titled “Advances in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering” focuses on the recent advances in performance-based design methodology, damage evaluation due to local site amplification, slope failure including landslide seismic hazard assessment and consequent risk mitigation and soil liquefaction phenomena. Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 June 2023. More info on this flyer and at this web-page.

 

L’Associazione

Il GNIG (Gruppo Nazionale di Ingegneria Geotecnica) si propone di promuovere il coordinamento delle attività di ricerca e di formazione nel Settore Scientifico Disciplinare ICAR07 – 08/B1 ‘Geotecnica’, di curare le relazioni con gli altri Settori Scientifico Disciplinari, con gli Organi di Governo dell’Università e con le Associazioni Scientifiche e Culturali del Settore.
