Please join us at 12 pm on Oct. 9th (Wed) in Yeh Center Room 3310
for a presentation by Dr. Norman Abrahamson, Engineering Seismologist at Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and Adjunct Professor at University of California at Berkeley.

The presentation is entitled: “Developing time histories for seismic design and risk assessment: How much variability should be included?” The attached flyer provides more information regarding the presentation, including an abstract and a short biography of Dr. Abrahamson.

The presentation is sure to be interesting and informative, so we encourage you to attend and give Dr. Abrahamson a warm U of I welcome.

We look forward to seeing you there!
