UW CEE Professor visits Haiti to realize a shocking reality about construction practices

Prof. Mark Eberhard is back from Haiti where he led a team of five engineers to study how that country's buildings withstood the 7.0 magnitude quake that hit in January.

"I was shocked to hear there was no building code in Haiti," said Eberhard. "I've never been to a place where there's no building codes."

Eberhard is the lead author of a report that will be shared with U.S. aid agencies and the United Nations. He described his trip on a NEES (Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation) blog:http://neescomm.blogspot.com/
