Eng. Francesca Bozzoni of the Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering section, led by Prof. Carlo G. Lai, took part on behalf of EUCENTRE in the post-event geotechnical engineering reconnaissance survey conducted by the team of GEER (Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance) Association.
The Italy-US GEER team, with expertise in geotechnical earthquake engineering, geology, seismology and, geomatics, carried out the main phase of surveys from November 30 to December 5, 2016, in the areas in Central Italy struck by the 2016 seismic sequence.
The activities carried out by the GEER team are illustrated in the technical report, titled: Engineering Reconnaissance following the October 2016 Central Italy Earthquakes: Ver 1 (09/01/2017). For further details, see the page dedicated to the event in the website of GEER Association.
