GEO-SLOPE just announced last week that they have posted over 30 hours of training videos for learning their popular GeoStudio 2007 geotechnical software package. The videos are based on the content of their training workshops, including the annual one in Banf, Canada. They also have links for the example files, handouts and even reference papers that can be downloaded. They say the best format for these ‘self-hosted workshops’ would probably be a group setting in your conference room or something but I imagine you can do it at your own pace as well. Certainly the cost savings over travelling to attend one of their workshops should make this an option for some training on this popular geotechnical software package.

What Would a Large Earthquake Do to Downtown L.A.?
From the USGS Newsroom:
USGS scientist Ken Hudnut fills us in on how science created the theoretical magnitude 7.8 earthquake behind the Great Southern California ShakeOut—the largest earthquake preparedness drill in U.S. history, coming Nov. 13—and what such an earthquake would do to downtown Los Angeles.
Seems like they did it right wiith this study. They had multiple teams independenlty come up with the ground shaking model, then had different structural engineers who are experts in seismic design of large buildings review the tall buildings in the L.A. area for the design earthquake. They say that buildings would likely come down in the 7.8 magnitude event. Click through to watch the video interview from the USGS.
