Seed and Athanasopoulos-Zekkos Receive Middlebrooks Award

GeoSystems Professor Raymond B. Seed and Dr. Adda Athanasopoulos-Zekkos (CE PhD. '08) received the 2015 Thomas A. Middlebrooks Award from ASCE's Geo-Institute.

They were selected for the award on the basis of their paper, "Simplified Methodology for Consideration of Two-Dimensional Dynamic Response of Levees in Liquefaction-Triggering Evaluation," which was published in the Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, November 2013.

The selection committee noted the paper's "broad applicability due in part to its presentation of systematic studies of the responses of a suite of levee and foundation conditions to a wide range of input ground motions of varying magnitudes, intensities, and characteristics."
