CSI uses the 1906 San Francisco ground shaking recreated by new technology from USGS

Using three-dimensional geological and seismic velocity models, scientists at the USGS have recreated what they think was the ground shaking due to the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

Using seismic accelerograms produced by this new technology from the USGS, CSI software has been used to create animations that show the behavior of some California landmarks subjected to the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

CSi software is used by thousands of engineering firms involved in the design of buildings, bridges and other major projects in over 150 countries ~ from the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur to the New Freedom Tower in New York to the 150+ story Burj-e-Dubai in the UAE ~ the choice of sophisticated design professionals worldwide.
