Projects : Earthquake Damage Assessment and Repair Project

CUREE is conducting the Earthquake Damage Assessment and Repair Project currently with major funding from the California Earthquake Authority (CEA). The goal is to provide a fair, accurate, and well-documented Guidelines for engineering evaluations of earthquake damage conducted in the post-earthquake insurance adjusting context. The project manager of this effort is Dr. John Osteraas of Exponent Failure Analysis Associates. In Phase 1, experimental tasks have been carried out on foundations (NAHB Research Center) and walls (UC San Diego).
