This $566,155 five-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support multiscale probabilistic characterization of seismic site response and its incorporation into system-level probabilistic seismic hazard assessments for water distribution systems. The awardee, North Carolina State University, will advance scientific knowledge of soil response to earthquake ground shaking at multiple scales through numerical modeling, geospatial analytics, and uncertainty quantification. A new conditional site response model capable of adapting to all available subsurface data and associated uncertainties will be developed. The influence of spatially variable site effects on ground motion correlations and azimuth dependencies will be quantified. An improved probabilistic approach incorporating local site effects at critical locations will be created for computational efficiency, and implemented in case studies of three water distribution systems. Additionally, the awardee will launch the first Earthquake Engineering and Seismology Community Alliance in Latin America to broaden participation in STEM fields.
