SEISMIC RISK MANAGEMENT FOR SEAPORTS
Earthquake damage to seaports can cause economic losses due to repair costs for individual structures and, more importantly, due to extended downtimes and associated disruption of shipping operations, which can have regional, national, and international consequences. However, no systematic and practical method for assessing and managing these risks currently exists. To fill this gap, the United States Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) is funding a Grand Challenge research project that is currently beginning its fourth year. This paper summarizes the current status and initial findings from this research.
