2017 Technical Session Overview
Following this year's theme, "The Evolving Process of
Determining Site-Specific Design Ground Motions in
Areas of High Seismicity," the technical session is
broken into four general areas of discussion:
- COSMOS/CGS/USGS Joint Activities and New
Datasets
- Determining Ground Motions in Subduction Zones
- Site-Specific Evaluations
- New Developments in Seismic Design Maps

Farzad Naeim Awarded the 2017 Bruce A. Bolt Medal
Farzad Naeim (M. EERI, 1983), President of Farzad Naeim, Inc., was
named the 2017 recipient of the Bruce A. Bolt Medal. The Bruce Bolt
Medal is awarded jointly by the Consortium of Strong
Motion Observation Systems (COSMOS), the Seismological Society of
America (SSA), and the Earthquake Engineering Research
Institute (EERI).
For more than three decades, Dr. Naeim has been making significant
contributions to earthquake engineering, technology and public
policy. He consistently demonstrates extraordinary leadership
transferring knowledge into practice to improve seismic safety. A
prime example is his ongoing work with the City of Los Angeles to
develop regulations for the design and construction of very tall
buildings. His input and perseverance has resulted in significant
seismic safety improvements in Los Angeles and other major cities.
Dr. Naeim has tirelessly served in leadership roles, including
President of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI),
Editor-in-Chief of Earthquake Spectra, Chair of the Governance Board
of the U.S. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES),
and Chair of the 10th U.S. National Conference on Earthquake
Engineering. He currently serves on the Seismic Advisory Board of
the California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) and is the
Chair of the California Strong Motion Instrumentation Advisory
Committee of the Seismic Safety Commission (SMIAC).
Before founding his own firm, as Technical Director and General
Counsel at John A. Martin & Associates (JAMA), Dr. Naeim established
a mission to take the best technology publicly available and develop
it into tailor-made design methodologies, analysis software, and
earthquake-resistant design technologies that improve seismic
safety. Over the years, he has developed 48 software systems for
earthquake engineering design and education.
Dr. Naeim has often been recognized for excellence in his field. He
received the Fazlur Khan Medal for life-time achievement from the
Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat and has been awarded six
Outstanding Journal Paper Awards from the Los Angeles Tall Buildings
Structure and Design Council. He has authored four textbooks, 14
textbook chapters, more than 120 journal papers, and is the
recipient of grants from such diverse agencies as EERI, FEMA, the
County of Los Angeles, the California Strong Motion Instrumentation
Program, Applied Technology Council (ATC), and the United States
Geological Survey (USGS), for studying various damage
characteristics of earthquakes and their impact on seismic design
practice. Not one to rest on his laurels, 20 years after receiving
his Ph.D., Farzad obtained a Juris Doctor degree. In addition to
being a licensed Civil and Structural Engineer, he is a licensed
Patent Attorney.
Dr. Naeim received the Bruce Bolt Medal at the EERI Annual Meeting on
March 7-10, 2017 in Portland, Oregon.

Keto Gummies
Keto Gummies sind in Deutschland zu einer beliebten Wahl für Menschen geworden, die eine ketogene Diät einhalten möchten. Diese Gummibärchen sind speziell formuliert, um den Körper in einen Zustand der Ketose zu versetzen, in dem er Fett anstelle von Kohlenhydraten als Hauptenergiequelle verbrennt. Sie enthalten in der Regel eine Mischung aus natürlichen Inhaltsstoffen wie MCT-Öl, BHB (Beta-Hydroxybutyrat) und verschiedenen Vitaminen, die den Stoffwechsel ankurbeln und den Appetit zügeln. Die einfache und leckere Darreichungsform macht sie besonders attraktiv für Menschen (Keto Gummies), die Schwierigkeiten haben, traditionelle Nahrungsergänzungsmittel in ihre tägliche Routine zu integrieren.
