Calls for Papers

Lifeline Earthquake Engineering in a Multihazard Environment – TCLEE 2009

Conference organizers are now accepting abstracts online. TCLEE 2009 will address this issue by providing a comprehensive array of technical papers pertinent to current practices, recent innovations, and future directions associated with performance requirements, design, analysis, and planning of lifelines subjected to natural and man-made hazards. In the TCLEE conference tradition, emphasis will be placed on technologies for reducing risks from earthquakes. However, TCLEE 2009 will address these technologies from a unique perspective that includes comparisons with lifeline risk-reduction technologies for other natural hazards and man-made hazards.
