Gail Atkinson is an internationally-renowned engineering seismologist. She has been responsible for seismic hazard analyses for major engineering projects in Canada, the United States and overseas, and is active on Canadian code committees responsible for developing seismic design regulations. She has served as President of the Seismological Society of America (2001-2003) and has authored more than 100 articles on earthquake ground motions and hazards.
The increasing use by engineers of nonlinear response history analysis requires that the characterization of seismic demand extend beyond relatively simple intensity measures to suites of [...]
