His honors include the TK Hsieh Award from the Institution of Civil Engineers, and the Ralph B. He has served as a technical specialist on seismic remediation and dam safety projects for private, state, and federal organizations. Idriss the EERI Monograph MNO-12 on Soil Liquefaction during Earthquakes. His research over the past 25 years has produced over 200 publications, including co-authoring with I. Ross’ research and professional practice are primarily related to liquefaction and its remediation, seismic soil-pile-structure interaction, and seismic performance of dams and levees. He became a registered professional engineer in the State of California in 1992. degree in Civil Engineering from the University of British Columbia in 1986. degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley in 19, respectively, and his B.A.Sc. Boulanger is the Director of the Center for Geotechnical Modeling and professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Davis. Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineeringĭirector, Center for Geotechnical Modeling This presentation examines a number of lessons, challenges, and opportunities regarding the evaluation and mitigation of liquefaction hazards, including aspects of site characterization, engineering analysis methods, challenging soil types, remediation methods, performance-based engineering procedures, and risk management approaches. These past studies have produced major advances in our scientific understanding of liquefaction phenomena and the engineering practices used to address liquefaction hazards, but there remain numerous situations where knowledge gaps and engineering practice limitations hinder the efficient mitigation of earthquake-induced liquefaction damages to our infrastructure and communities. Liquefaction during earthquakes has been the subject of extensive study for over half a century and is now routinely addressed in engineering practice using a wide range of technical approaches that depend on the project size and importance. Liquefaction: Lessons, Challenges, and Opportunities The lecture will look at the roles EERI members can play in shaping this thinking into design practice with four sets of questions: definitional, technical, policy, and implementation.ĥ:30 PM Reception (Drinks and appetizers will be served)Įlectrical and Computer Engineering Building 105 (ECE 105) And if progress is to be measured at the community level, functional recovery will also be a matter of public policy. Most intriguing is the recognition that designing for functional recovery is a necessary tool for achieving community-wide earthquake resilience. Designing buildings and infrastructure for limited downtime – or an acceptably quick functional recovery – is not new, but it is receiving new attention through state and federal legislation, and showing new feasibility through research and technology. David’s lecture will focus on the emerging concept of functional recovery as a basis for earthquake-resistant design. RSVP for this virtual event by emailing Bonowitz (M.EERI,1994), a leading structural engineer practicing in San Francisco, will deliver the 2020 Distinguished Lecture, “Functional Recovery: What it Means to Design for Community Resilience,” in this webinar. EERI Washington is pleased to welcome David Bonowitz for a presentation of the 2020 Distinguished Lecture.
