One-Dimensional Site Response Analysis: Accounting for the method bias and variability associated with site response estimations.
In this presentation led by Dr. Renmin Pretell, you will gain an understanding of one-dimensional site response analysis (1D SRA) and how it is utilized to predict ground movement during seismic events. The presentation will focus on the limitations of the 1D SRA approach and the methodology used to improve predictions. This presentation was hosted […]
