Project Abstract
 N/A
Intellectual Merit A systematic analysis of nonlinear site response and damage related radiation is very important for better understanding nonlinear strong ground motion and temporal changes of material properties in the shallow crust. The information is critical for accurate prediction of strong shaking during large earthquakes.
Broader Impacts This project provided half-support for the GT graduate student Chunquan Wu, who has become an export in studying nonlinear site response in California, Japan and Turkey. This work will be part of his Ph.D. thesis on understanding “dynamically induced temporal changes and seismic activity”.
