In this SECED Evening Meeting, Holly William from SRK Consulting, Canada, will be presenting her paper “Incorporating inherent uncertainties in seismic liquefaction assessments”, winner of the 2023 TK Shieh Award.

In this lecture we will be presenting the most recent ground-motion model for the United Kingdom developed as part of a project funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering and in collaboration with Jacobs. This model will contribute towards a better characterisation (prediction) of earthquake induced ground shakings, which are a key input for the development of seismic hazard maps and for the seismic safety evaluation of critical infrastructure as nuclear power plants.
