What will it take for Oregon to recover after a magnitude 9.0 Cascadia subduction zone earthquake? Among other things, it will need a major airport to receive the tons of relief supplies from around the world. Prof. Armin Stuedlein and a research team from Oregon State University conducted crucial testing that guided engineers with big plans to make sure one of the runways at Portland International Airport survives the shaking.  BONUS CONTENT: <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0qgWrs_XJo&ab_channel=CollegeofEngineering-OregonStateUniversity"> Video: Blast-induced liquefaction tests at PDX</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.co.benton.or.us/preparedness/page/hazard-earthquakes">Preparing for an earthquake</a></li> <li><a href="https://cascadia.oregonstate.edu/">Cascadia Lifelines Program</a></li> </ul> <a href= "https://engineering.oregonstate.edu/season-11-engineering-natural-disasters/saving-pdx-s11e5" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://engineering.oregonstate.edu/season-11-engineering-natural-hazard-impacts/saving-pdx-s11e5</a>
