Second International Conference on Performance-Based Design in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering
Description
Following the footsteps of the most successful first PBD conference held in Tokyo in 2009 and the 5th International Conference in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering held in 2010 in Santiago, Chile, the Taormina PBD 2012 conference will offer an ideal forum to present and discuss the most recent advances and progresses in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and in particular in the Performance Based Design of structures. The Conference is organised around several state of the art and keynote lectures given by distinguished international experts and over 150 peer review papers in different topics. Special sessions are devoted to the mega Tohuku 2011 earthquake in Japan, the two devastating earthquakes in New Zealand (2011) and the Abruzzo 2009 earthquake. Besides the more technical topics, the conference will also give us the opportunity to discuss new trend_datetimes in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering and Performance Based Design related to global sustainability and life cycle analysis.
