An IMEG structural engineer is in Turkey to study the impact of earthquakes on buildings.<\/p>\n
Parth Gudhka, a project engineer in IMEG\u2019s Los Angeles office, is part of an Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) team studying buildings in southern Turkey damaged by earthquakes with peak velocity between 70 and 100 cm\/sec.<\/p>\n
According to EERI, the team will study:<\/p>\n
The EERI\u2019s goal is to improve design and construction practices worldwide. The results of the group\u2019s studies will likely result in recommendations to change building codes, seismic design guidelines, and design, construction, and inspection practices.<\/p>\n
