Prof. Nweke was invited to join a panel of experts to present on recent innovations and findings in geotechnical site characterization. Prof. Nweke presented on Seismic Hazard Parameters for Site Response Analysis and Assessment with regards to Basin Effects. It was a wonderful event with very interesting and inspiring presentations by Prof. Jason DeJong (UC … Read More
This year 2022 is looking like the beginning of return to normalcy with regards to travel for conferences as Professor Nweke attends the 12th National Earthquake Engineering Conference (12NCEE) which was held in Downtown Salt Lake City, UT. At the conference, Prof. Nweke presented on his work investigating site response variations in different sedimentary basin … Read More
Prof. Nweke and his Ph.D. student Piyush Vyas joined a team that was tasked with deploying 250 temporary seismic instruments to record earthquakes in the Los Angeles Basin (All the red dots in the Feature Image and points in the google earth photo below). The effort will temporarily increase the number of seismometers in the … Read More
This is a flagship paper that presents our work investigating updates to the way we characterize seismic site response in sedimentary basins of varying size, as well as non-basin areas. The paper details our efforts which resulted in changes to the mean estimates and associated variability as it relates to ground motion hazards, going beyond … Read More
