GeoMO 2008

Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering

Site Response

Friday, May 2, 2008
9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Missouri University of Science and Technology
Havener Center
Rolla, Missouri

The theme of GeoMO 2008 has recently become of more interest to the Midwest civil engineering community due to the perceived earthquake risks and new code requirements.  The constant seismic reminder for the New Madrid Seismic Zone and new USGS hazard mapping underway in St. Louis make this lecture very timely.  The short course will provide answers to questions that frequently arise in new or retrofit engineering projects as it relates to site response.

Course participants will gain familiarity with the concepts and related topics for use in geotechnical and structural engineering.  The course includes a full day of lectures, extensive references, notes and pictorial examples of up-to-date methods in site response.
