EMI 2019 @ Caltech: MS-14 Advanced Analysis for Earthquake Engineering

On Behalf of Ting Lin, Texas Tech:
---------------------------------------------

Dear Colleagues,

The Engineering Mechanics Institute (EMI) Conference will be in Pasadena, California on June 18-21, 2019. Please consider submitting an abstract to our mini-symposium:

MS-14 Advanced Analysis for Earthquake Engineering

Steven McCabe, Director, National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program, USA; steven.mccabe@nist.gov

Ting Lin, Assistant Professor, Texas Tech University, USA; ting.lin@ttu.edu

Kevin Wong, Research Engineer, National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA; kfwong@nist.gov

Earthquake causes significant damages to engineered structures and disruptions to people’s daily lives. While people living in the earthquake-prone regions are waiting for the next major earthquake, engineering research continues to be carried out in order to protect these people from potential devastating effects of the destructive event. To this end, this mini-symposium provides a unique opportunity to bring together researchers and engineers working in areas of advanced computational mechanics, nonlinear dynamic analysis, probabilistic modeling, and hazard simulation, with a common goal to better understand the behavior of structures and determine their responses for earthquake risk reduction. Topics of advanced analysis for earthquake engineering cover a wide range of special areas and interests, including but not limited to computational mechanics in earthquake engineering, ground motion and modeling uncertainties, reliability of response estimations, simulation of collapse, structural control techniques, and engineering utilization of simulated ground motions. Of particular interests are measurement science issues related to analytical techniques, structural dynamics, damping, stability, nonlinear material component modeling, and computational challenges. Solutions to special earthquake engineering problems encountered in research and industry making use of cutting edge engineering mechanics approaches are also very much welcomed.

Sponsoring Committee: Dynamics

The deadline to submit an abstract is January 30, 2019

Want to send an announcement to the SCEC community?
SCEC community announcement requests should be sent to scecinfo@usc.edu (no attachments) with the following requirements, in order to best standardize announcements and provide maximum security for recipients. These requirements also ensure that various email applications and any applied filters reach the recipient as the announcement was intended.
1) Use this style guide :
• All text must be in Helvetica, 12 pt.
• Bold, italics, and underline formatting is permitted.
• Consider the length of web links; use bit.ly or tinyurl.com to shorten them as needed.
• NO PDFs, Word Docs, images, or other attachments - all content must be in the email request itself.
2) Include a subject line.

3) Remember, send your request to scecinfo@usc.edu.

We strive to send announcements as soon as possible. In general, expect a 2-3 business day turn-around. We may also combine announcements with others, delay sending certain announcements due to current events, and even reject requests if they do not fit the needs of the SCEC community.

Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry.

We appreciate your interest in SCEC.

Regards,

Jason Ballmann
