Image created using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) Every year since 1989 the California Geological Survey has funded studies to analyze and apply strong-motion data, supporting improvements in post-earthquake response, seismic code provisions, and design practices.
As part of this effort, the CGS facilitates the annual SMIP Seminar to share recent research with seismic design professionals, earth scientists, and earthquake response personnel. These seminars provide information useful for current practice and for the continued improvement of seismic design codes and methods.
SMIP26 Seminar
SMIP26 will be hosted virtually. The seminar program and online registration are now available, and registration fees are waived for this year’s event.
SMIP Seminar Proceedings
Proceedings are available in PDF format for each year of the annual SMIP Seminar.
