The first public workshop for PEER’s NGA-West2 program will take place at UC Berkeley on November 15th. This workshop will highlight and share the findings that have developed from the project team over the last 2 years, including the preliminary ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs), updated ground motion database, and results from other research tasks. Researchers, practitioners, and any other interested parties are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Date: Thursday, November 15, 2012
Location: Auditorium in Room 310, Sutardja Dai Hall (CITRIS Building), University of California, Berkeley. Directions.
