1 Geotechnical Engineering Research Ideas Cascadia Working Group 05/15/2012

2 Cascadia Shakeout Scenario Potential SoCal EQ – Seismology – Structural – Geotechnical – Lifelines – Social – Public Policy – (Tsunami)

3 Subduction Motion Prediction Models Long-duration codas Long-period (high-frequency) NEED database of subduction zone events – Secondary need: synthetic earthquake motions to “fill out” database

4 Soil-fluid-structure interaction Mainshock -> Tsunami -> Aftershocks Instability – Tsunami structures – Seawalls – Critical Coastal Infrastructure

5 Silt Liquefaction Willamette Valley silts Portland Hills silts NOT sure how these silts will respond to the Cascadia event (or ordinary earthquake motion)

6 Site Response What will CSZ earthquake motion be when it reaches WV population centers?

7 Coastal & Cascadia Landslides Identifying landslides Landslide hazard mapping Large landslides Instability after shaking ceases
