Izzat M. Idriss: Connections: the EERI Oral History Series

by Ross Boulanger

Overview

This is the thirty-first volume in the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute's series, Connections: The EERI Oral History Series. EERI began this series to preserve the recollections of some of those who have had pioneering careers in the field of earthquake engineering. Significant, even revolutionary, changes have occurred in earthquake engineering since individuals first began thinking in modern, scientific ways about how to protect construction and society from earthquakes. The Connections series helps document this important history. This volume features Dr. Izzat (Ed) M. Idriss, a pioneer in the field of geotechnical earthquake engineering.
