Civil engineering professor Clint Wood traveled to Mexico City and Puebla, Mexico, last week to study the recent earthquake’s impact on buildings and infrastructure. He was chosen to participate in a Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance, or GEER, mission sponsored by the National Science Foundation. As a geotechnical earthquake engineer, Wood focuses his research on dynamic soil characterization. He uses broadband seismometers to measure low-intensity stress waves. By measuring the frequency and wavelength of these waves as they pass through arrays of seismometers, he can estimate the shear-wave velocity and layering of the soil underneath the arrays. Understanding the shear-wave...
