Report GIRS 2021-05: San Fernando Earthquake Conference- 50 Years of Lifeline Engineering: Book of Abstracts

By: Davis, Craig A., Yu, Kent, and Taciroglu, Ertugrul
DOI: 10.34948/N3QP4X

There has been 50-years of progress in lifeline earthquake engineering since its inception as a primary field of practice following the 1971 San Fernando Earthquake in Los Angeles, California. Over that time lifeline engineering has been applied worldwide and extended to address additional hazards beyond earthquakes.
