Following on the steps of the successful Geo-Extreme 2021, this conference aims at creating a multi-disciplinary forum where the geo-engineering community can work with other professionals, e.g., climate scientists, engineers, emergency managers, resilience and sustainability investigators, insurance experts, and policy makers, to properly cope with man-made and natural extreme events (such as hurricanes, floods, extreme precipitations, droughts, wildfires, debris flows, earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides) under a changing climate. Our third conference preview will be presented Tuesday, October 21, at 2pm ET. Jon Stewart of UCLA will present Updated Procedures for Site Response Modeling in 2026 NEHRP Provisions and Commentary.
Ergodic vs. non-ergodic site response. Components of non-ergodic site response models, including mean model, aleatory variability, and epistemic uncertainty. Site response in current (2020) NEHRP Provisions and Commentary (Section 21.1). Review of new procedures for site-specific (non-ergodic) site response and updates to traditional approach that is a hybrid of probabilistic reference site motions and deterministic site adjustments (referred to as hybrid ground motions approach). Allowable levels of ground motion reduction relative to default methods. Status of proposals for NEHRP Provisions / Commentary (2026) and ASCE 7 (2028).
