- Abstract
- The workshop was held to discuss research needs and priorities in geotechnical earthquake engineering. Group discussions involved the following topics: (1) dynamic soil properties and measurement techniques in the laboratory; (2) dynamic soil properties and measurement techniques in the field; (3) analytical procedures and mathematical modeling; (4) design earthquakes, ground motion, and surface faulting; (5) assessment of seismic stability of soil; (6) soil structure interaction; and (7) experimental modeling and simulation. The workshop recommended that applied research be carried out to: improve understanding of basic fundamentals; improve design methods; evaluate and verify the design procedures; and transfer technology.
