Themes & Topics

Proposed technical sessions include:

• Engineering seismology (e.g., soil nonlinearity, ground motion prediction, site effects)
• Geotechnical earthquake engineering (e.g., ground response, liquefaction, SSI, foundation design, innovations)
• Seismic design, evaluation and retrofit (e.g., retrofits, performance design, isolation and control, non-structural components)
• Seismic loss and risk assessment (e.g., resilience, hazard/vulnerability, loss estimation, DRR planning)
• Monitoring and early warning (e.g., SHM and early warning systems, economic implications)
• Advanced methods for simulation (e.g., advanced and hybrid simulations)
• Photogrammetry and visualization (e.g., structure-from-motion, UAV reconnaissance)
• Lessons learned from post-disaster response and recovery (e.g., reconnaissance, post-earthquake assessment, social justice)
• Heritage and traditional structures
• Social vulnerability and risks
• Risk reduction policies and practices
• Other special sessions (subject to proposals from research groups and institutions)
