Description

The 2023 Turkey earthquakes impacted a large region with seismic hazards such as strong ground shaking, surface fault rupture, liquefaction, lateral spreading, rockfall, slides, etc. GEER-EERI mobilized a joint team in concert with Turkish colleagues to collect perishable data so that lessons could be learned from these earthquakes. In this talk Robb Moss will give an overview of our GEER efforts, bring the lessons learned back to the US, and will give specific attention to the many earthdams that exhibited different levels of performance.
