AbstractThis goal of this research project is to investigate little-understood mechanisms that lead to many severe injuries during earthquakes to support the development of new, effective interventions to reduce seismic risks. Through the research, this project aims to utilize new engineering models to capture the critical injury mechanisms and interactions between humans and infrastructure during earthquakes at fine scales in space and time, focusing on predicting earthquake impacts on health and life.
