John Garrick Risk Institute, EERI, PEER, and UCLA International Institute will co-sponsor a reconnaissance briefing of observations from the August 24, 2016, Central Italy Earthquake. Participants include Jonathan P. Stewart, GEER team leader & PEER faculty; Paulo Zimmaro, GEER team member & PEER researcher; and Silvia Mazzoni, EERI reconnaissance team member & PEER researcher.

2017 Pacific Rim Forum: Earthquake Resilience of Nuclear Facilities

On January 23 & 24, 2017, PEER hosted the latest in a series of Pacific Rim Forums focusing on the critical issue of earthquake resilience of nuclear facilities. Nuclear facilities associated with power generation, nuclear materials processing and storage, and nuclear experimental science require the utmost attention with regard to facility resilience and safety.

Around the Pacific Rim, large earthquakes are a major design issue for nuclear facilities and advanced approaches for seismic analysis and design are essential to achieving appropriate levels of risk.

2021 PEER International Pacific Rim Forum: June 16-17

This latest in a series of PEER Pacific Rim Forums will bring together multidisciplinary experts from structural and geotechnical engineering and the earth sciences to share recent research results as well as state-of-practice advancements and applications of regional-scale fault-to-structure simulations. Special attention will also be focused on the identification of key knowledge and capability gaps providing barriers to realizing the full potential of regional-scale simulations.

Shake Table 50th Anniversary

Since its 1972 inauguration, the Shaking Table, located at the Richmond Field Station of UC Berkeley and managed by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center, has been very active and continues to introduce and employ innovative technology, and carry out cutting edge research related to the seismic behavior of structures and equipment.
