Federal Highway Administration guidance document LRFD Seismic Analysis and Design for Geotechnical Transportation Features and Structural Foundations. He has served as principal or co-principal investigator on National Science Foundation and California Integrated Waste Management Board research projects on seismic hazard mitigation and waste containment system design and performance, and he is also co-author of the U.S.

Atwater used giant sediment slices to learn that subsurface dikes and sills are common beneath Columbia River banks where liquefaction failed to produce surficial evidence during the 1700 Cascadia earthquake. His current work extends to earthquake-hazard assessment in the Caribbean and service on a California advisory board on water resources and ecosystem restoration.

His primary research interests include soil liquefaction, site response analysis, seismic slope stability, and hazard analysis. Much of his current research work is in the area of performance-based earthquake engineering, specifically the integration of probabilistic response analyses with probabilistic seismic hazard analyses.

From page 240... ...
He has researched the use of three-dimensional finite element techniques and fully nonlinear models for the dynamic response analysis of dams and earth structure and on the mechanisms of liquefaction failure during earthquakes. He is a Secretarial Appointee to the Advisory Committee on Structural Safety of the Department of Veterans Affairs Facilities and is currently vice-chair of the Governance Board of the National Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation.
