This seminar presents a step-by-step evaluation of seismic ground motions for design and assessment of geotechnical and structural systems. The evaluation of site-specific ground motions requires an interaction between geology, seismology, geotechnical engineering and structural engineering. Professionals in any of these fields possess some knowledge of the related fields, but, invariably gaps are left in their knowledge. This seminar is aimed at closing those gaps through an intuitive approach. Learn more
