To reduce seismic risk to new tall buildings, San Francisco should develop regulations to address foundation and geotechnical issues.

Susceptibility to extreme seismic forces need not be a barrier to the use of accelerated bridge construction methods, according to researchers at the University of Nevada, Reno’s Earthquake Engineering Laboratory.

The team setting the stage in seismic Seattle for a 58-story composite steel frame calls the project “a game-changer”

An initial reconnaissance of the damage from the Sept. 19 Puebla-Morelos earthquake that killed over 300 people and toppled over 40 buildings in Mexico City found that seismic building codes—put in place after a 1985 deadly quake—were effective, according to a Stanford University professor.

Early indications are that code revisions after 1985 quake had a positive effect — when adhered to.
