This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award, totaling $128,716, will support rapid response research by Georgia TECH Research Corp (the Office of Sponsored Programs) to characterize subsurface conditions and ground performance at sites affected by the 2023 Kahramanmaras, Turkey earthquake sequence. The goal is to develop well-documented case histories on building and infrastructure damage, with a focus on near-fault ground motions, liquefaction-induced damage, and soil behavior. This research will provide critical insights applicable to seismic hazards and infrastructure resilience in U.S. cities. The work will be conducted collaboratively with Turkish researchers and will help train the next generation of U.S. earthquake engineering leaders through the involvement of early-career researchers and a graduate student. The subsurface data collection will primarily leverage seismic piezocone penetration tests and soil borings to assess shear wave velocity, critical soil layers, and potential liquefaction-induced ground movements. This research project runs from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2024.
