2006 PEER Annual Meeting

Program

As in Year 8 , the annual meeting was geared primarily towards working sessions to engage the researchers and industry partners in discussions about research accomplishments, needs, and plans. Day 1 (Friday) was spent in plenary sessions to examine ways in which PEER's research is impacting earthquake engineering practice and seismic hazard mitigation. Friday concluded with a student poster session, reception and group dinner for all participants.

Day 2 (Saturday) was spent in smaller working groups, organized around thrust area and cross cutting topics, which featured selected presentations from student and faculty researchers on current projects and outstanding needs and opportunities.
