Friday June 10th 2022 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

The CEE Department is pleased to announce Brian Ackerman's MS Project Defense: "Site-Specific Site Response Analysis and Cascadia Subduction Zone Ground Motions Evaluation for a Site Near Portland"

Date: Friday, June 10th 2022

Time: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Location: virtual via zoom: https://pdx.zoom.us/j/88607105865

Advisor: Dr. Arash Khosravifar

Abstract: Site-specific site response analysis was performed following ASCE 7-10 for the Kirkland Renaissance Boardwalk, a site in Vancouver, Washington.

Broadband synthetic earthquake ground motions from Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) megathrust were utilized for site response analysis. The results of site-specific site response analyses using the CSZ motions were compared with the results from the 5 historic ground motions from past earthquakes considered for the ASCE 7-10 procedure. The effect of motion duration and other ground motion intensity measures on the results of the site response analysis was investigated.
