“Reconstruction efforts to rebuild cities and communities within the earthquake ravaged countries of Haiti, Chile, New Zealand, China, and now Japan are estimated to surpass $600 Billion and require new design and engineering ideas that are both economical and time-sensitive. Homeless survivors saw firsthand how the earthquake leveled their stick-built homes and unreinforced masonry stores and shops. They want and need to have their communities rebuilt, but they must have confidence that the new buildings can withstand the aftershocks and future earthquakes.”
