Past earthquakes have shown that damage patterns are often associated with local geologic and geotechnical conditions. The paper summarizes an ongoing project aimed at developing a 3-D database of geotechnical boring logs that will be integrated into a GIS for the estimation and forecasting of earthquake damages in the Los Angeles area.
