Message to ISSMGE Members
By Professor Kyriazis Pitilakis, TC203 (Earthquake) Chairman
It is a pleasure, through this short article in the Bulletin to provide members of the ISSMGE some insight into the activities of the technical committee “Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Associated Problems” (TC 203).
The Technical Committee TC203 (exTC-4) on Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Associated Problems started up in 1985, reflecting the increasing need and interest of earthquake engineering among the geotechnical engineering community. Professor Kenji Ishihara was the first chairman, followed by Professor Pedro Seco e Pinto, Professor Liam Finn, Professor Takaji Kokusho and Professor Atilla Ansal (co-chairman). For more than 25 years TC203 has provided the main forum for ISSMGE members in the area of earthquake geotechnical
engineering and made significant contributions in responding to the needs and challenges posed by the major earthquakes.
