hi Please reserve Full Sail for this wednesday 3/28 at 10:00am-12noon eastern time (1500-1700 UTC) Immersive Demonstration and Presentation of Large-Scale Simulated Earthquake Ground-Motion and Building Response Abstract An NSF ERC connectivity grant has brought together a diverse group of researchers from Mississippi State University (Michael Stokes) , the University of California Berkeley (Greg Fenves), and Carnegie Mellon University (Jacobo Bielak) to couple earthquake ground motion with the structural response of man-made structures. The ultimate goal of the SPUR (Seismic Performance of Urban Regions) grant is to predict the survivability of large scale infrastructure over a complete urban region to aid in disaster recovery and mitigation. The demonstration and presentation is to explore the progress to date of computational earthquake science and its dissemination and interpretation using Internet based Web Portal technology and immersive visualization. ___________________________________________________________ Tom Coffin ..........................
