After two major earthquakes rocked the state, is California ready for ‘the Big One’?

Two powerful earthquakes shook Southern California in back-to-back days last week, stoking fear among residents that a major earthquake isn’t far off. Jerome F. Hajjar, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Northeastern, says it’s not a matter of if California will experience a huge, devastating earthquake, but when. And only some of the buildings in the state are prepared to withstand such a quake, he says.

‘There is enough wind energy capacity off the east coast to power the entire country’

While countries in Northern Europe have been using wind energy for more than two decades, the United States hasn’t invested much in the technology. But that’s all starting to change. “This is an industry that is about to explode,” said Jerome Hajjar, an expert on infrastructure design and professor of engineering at Northeastern.

Building for collapse: Professor designs more resilient steel structures

Buildings all over the world have succumbed to earthquakes because they were designed never to collapse at all. As a result, these structures are not resilient to unforeseen events, said professor Jerome Hajjar, who delivered the 54th annual Robert D. Klein Lecture on Monday.

Miniature flying robots automatically inspect, analyze, and assess damage to infrastructure

Northeastern’s Jerome Hajjar and colleagues are developing a sophisticated system that uses autonomous small flying robots coupled with 3-D imaging and state-of-the art planning, modeling, and analysis to inspect structures from bridges to buildings and automatically identify problems, track their progress, and assess the need for follow-up.
