Session Time: 2:00 PM to 3:15 PM (local time)
Critical facilities such as nuclear plants, industrial facilities, dams, tailings dams and waste disposal sites need to remain safe under potential shaking even from large, rare seismic events. Similarly, seismic shaking presents hazards to distributed systems serving power, water, transportation and waste disposal. Hazards are usually assessed through specialized frameworks including PSHA and PFDHA. Challenges in seismic hazard assessment for major structures provide a springboard for research and innovation in the Engineering and Seismological communities, and lead to cutting- edge solutions and advances. Large national and international projects aimed at critical sites often shape the state-of-the- art, but notable contributions have also come from smaller teams from academia, government and civilian practice. New approaches and innovations are bringing advances in topics such as source, site and ground motion characterization, quantification and refinement of uncertainties and more.
In this session, we would like to bring together the seismological and engineering communities in a forum for discussion regarding advances in any aspect of seismology and engineering seismology where innovation has been driven by the needs of seismic safety and hazard assessment for critical facilities or infrastructure. We welcome contributions from academia and practice, regulating and operating parties, research-led consulting firms, energy and other sectors. We look forward to discussing challenges, insights and best practices from past and current endeavors, with a view to new directions in data, models and methods and potential applications.
