2014 COSMOS Technical Session

Developing Site-Specific Ground Motions to Satisfy the Proposed New Chapter 16 of ASCE 7-2016, which Codifies the West Coast Tall Building Seismic Analysis Requirements

November 14, 2014
8:30 AM—6:00 PM
Crowne Plaza Hotel San Francisco Airport
Burlingame, California


The Consortium of Organizations for Strong-Motion Observation Systems (COSMOS) held its Annual Meeting and Technical Session at the Crowne Plaza Hotel San Francisco Airport located in Burlingame, California, on Friday, November 14th. This year's Technical Session was again co-sponsored by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Center and the California Geological Survey.
