Canada is not immune to such events. More than 30 per cent of Canadians reside in seismically active zones, with the West Coast at particular risk for devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. Furthermore, while Canada has not recently been a target of terrorist attacks, security remains a concern. During the last 30 years, Professor Murat Saatcioglu has been involved in developing design and retrofit techniques to increase the resilience of building and bridge infrastructure against extreme and rare events like strong earthquakes and, more recently, bomb blasts. He will present his research and discuss his views on mitigating seismic and explosion risks. Dr. Saatcioglu is a Professor of Structural Engineering and University Research Chair at the University of Ottawa. He is the President of the Canadian Association for Earthquake Engineering, Director of the Ottawa-Carleton Earthquake Engineering Research Centre, and a member of the Canadian National Committee on Earthquake Engineering. Professor Saatcioglu\u2019s work has been recognized nationally and internationally through numerous research and teaching awards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Murat Saatcioglu: Tremblements de terre et explosions de bombes : nos infrastructures sont-elles su\u0302res?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Durant la seule ann\u00e9e 2004, les catastrophes naturelles et provoqu\u00e9es par l\u2019homme ont tu\u00e9 plus de 300 000 personnes dans le monde entier et caus\u00e9 des dommages d\u2019une valeur sup\u00e9rieure \u00e0 150 000 milliards de dollars. Le Canada n\u2019est pas immunis\u00e9 contre de tels \u00e9v\u00e9nements. Plus de 30 p. 100 des Canadiens r\u00e9sident dans des zones d\u2019activit\u00e9 sismique, la c\u00f4te Ouest courant un risque particulier de subir des tremblements de terre et des tsunamis d\u00e9vastateurs. En outre, bien que le Canada n\u2019ait pas encore \u00e9t\u00e9 la cible d\u2019attaques terroristes r\u00e9cemment, la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 demeure une pr\u00e9occupation. Au cours des 30 derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, M. Murat Saatcioglu a particip\u00e9 au d\u00e9veloppement de techniques de conception et de modernisation visant \u00e0 accro\u00eetre la r\u00e9silience des infrastructures d\u2019immeubles et de ponts contre les rares \u00e9v\u00e9nements extr\u00eames comme les forts tremblements de terre et \u2013 plus r\u00e9cemment \u2013 les explosions de bombes. Il pr\u00e9sentera ses recherches et discutera de ses opinions sur l\u2019att\u00e9nuation des risques li\u00e9s aux secousses sismiques et aux explosions. M. Saatcioglu est professeur d\u2019ing\u00e9nierie des structures et titulaire d\u2019une chaire de recherche \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 d\u2019Ottawa.
