      <title>Seminar Series: Special Topics in Earthquake Engineering - Soil Structure Interaction Practical Design Aspects and Case Studies (14 May 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://eeribc.ca/resources/Event%20Photos/2026-05-14%20-%20Symposium%20Poster%20V2.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="547" height="767"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(13, 13, 13);"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Join us for the highly &lt;font&gt;Seminar Series on Special Topics in Earthquake Engineering, "&lt;em&gt;Soil Structure Interaction Practical Design Aspects and Case Studies&lt;/em&gt;"&lt;/font&gt; taking place on May 14, 2026 at UBC Robson Square.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This symposium will bring together leading experts, engineers, and researchers to explore the critical role of soil–structure interaction (SSI), and basin effects in the seismic design of transportation infrastructure and buildings. The event will foster discussion on analytical methods, best practices, and innovative design strategies, while highlighting gaps and challenges in current approaches.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Through a combination of technical presentations and case studies, the &lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;symposium&lt;/font&gt; aims to enhance understanding of site response, improve the integration of SSI into engineering workflows, and support the development of more resilient and safe design practices.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#0D0D0D" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Thursday, May 14, 2026 at 8:00 am&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#0D0D0D" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Location:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#0D0D0D" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;UBC Robson Square | 800 Robson St, Vancouver, BC&amp;nbsp;V6Z 2E7&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
