The impact of a PEER funded research project "Next Generation Liquefaction Susceptibility Database: Expansion of the Laboratory Component to Leverage Pacific Northwest Soils" is highlighted below. The project Principal Investigator (PI) is Armin Stuedlein, Oregon State University. The Research Team includes Amalesh Jana, Oregon State University, Jonathan P. Stewart, UCLA and Scott J. Brandenberg, UCLA.

Join the PEER Student Committee for an engaging session with Caltrans to learn from their exciting work and explore diverse career paths in Structural Engineering.

PEER has continuing funding from the State of California related to the seismic performance of transportation systems. This funding supports the Transportation Systems Research Program (TSRP), the purpose of which is to lessen the impacts of earthquakes on the transportation systems of California, including highways and bridges, port facilities, high-speed rail, airports, and other related structures.
