George W. Housner

George W. Housner was a pioneering engineer known for his work in earthquake engineering and structural safety. He studied how buildings and structures respond during earthquakes, helping to develop methods and designs that reduce damage and protect occupants. His research contributed significantly to understanding seismic forces and improving building resilience worldwide. Housner’s insights have been instrumental in creating safer infrastructure, especially in earthquake-prone regions, and his legacy continues to influence modern engineering practices.
