Workshop Series on Seismic Geotechnical Engineering

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 pleased to announce a series of five virtual workshops on Seismic Geotechnical Engineering, featuring 10 distinguished speakers from leading universities and industry across Canada and the United States. The workshop will highlight both state-of-the-art theories and practical applications, drawing on lessons from past earthquake reconnaissance, advances in seismic hazard assessment and modelling, liquefaction evaluation, field measurement techniques, and numerical modelling approaches. A certificate of 10 PDH will be handed out upon request.

Objective: Disseminate state-of-the-art practices and theories in seismic geotechnical engineering assessment and design.

Who should attend: Young engineers, graduate and undergraduate students

One registration is necessary for accessing all five lecture series. If there are questions regarding the event and the registration, please contact Mehdi Hosseyni at mehdi_hosseyni@clifton.ca, Yolanda Alberto at yalberto@bgcengineering.ca, or Cheng Lin at chenglin918@uvic.ca
