07.12.10: Post Earthquake Structural Investigations in Chile
In April 2010, Ramon Gilsanz traveled to Chile to participate on two investigative teams after the 8.8 Maule, Chile Earthquake of February 27, 2010. The first team was formed by the Applied Technology Council to focus on emergency response issues, in particular as they relate to ATC-20, Post-Earthquake Safety Evaluation of Buildings. The second team was coordinated by the American Society of Civil Engineers. This team focused on the Chilean Building Codes and structural design issues related to ASCE 7, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures.

Mr. Gilsanz will present his observations from the two teams he participated on as well as a comparative discussion on the seismicity of Chile to the seismicity of the west coast of the United States, discussions of the difference in codes and design practices between Chile and the United States and a discussion on how to investigate buildings after an earthquake to understand how the buildings performed during the earthquake itself.

The event will take place upstairs at the Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place.
Registration: 5:45; Lecture: 6:15

For SEAoNY members, registration is $20 in advance or $30 at the door.
