ASCE Article Highlights Tsunami-Resistant OSU MSI Building

ASCE recently published an article in Civil Engineering Magazine about efforts the engineering community is making to protect coastal communities in tsunami inundation zones. The article highlights the innovative tsunami-resistant design of the Oregon State University Marine Studies Initiative Building—currently under construction in Newport, Oregon. GRI had the opportunity to conduct a subsurface exploration program at the MSI site and assist the design team in addressing tsunami and ground shaking seismic hazards.
