Canadian Association for Earthquake Engineering and Seismology
L’Association Canadienne du Génie Parasismique et de la Sismologie
Researchers are turning increasingly to multidisciplinary studies to better understand a variety of planetary processes, with seismology at the forefront of providing new tools and vital insights in this endeavor. This 2025 topical meeting from SSA invites studies of seismic and acoustical phenomena, as well as presentation of data processing and analysis methods, relative to […]
Abstract Earthquakes are among the most destructive natural disasters, capable of causing severe casualties and significant economic losses. For building owners, assessing and mitigating seismic risks in existing buildings poses both technical and economic challenges. In Canada, there has long been a need for nationwide technical guidelines for seismic evaluation and upgrading. The National Research […]
Overview: A series of five virtual workshops on Seismic Geotechnical Engineering with both state-of-the-art theories and practical applications The Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division (SMFD) of the CGS is mandated to promote the practice and research in classic geotechnical engineering and to provide professional development opportunities to members and colleagues. The SMFD executive committee is […]
