QuakeCoRE/NCREE Blind Prediction Competition
The QuakeCoRE center in New Zealand, in collaboration with the National Centre for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) in Taiwan and DesignSafe in the US, is excited to announce a competition to predict the response of reinforced concrete (RC) structures with torsional irregularities to earthquake shaking. Expressions of interest are due by 5 pm on May 15, 2019 (New Zealand time).
