Popis:	The magnitude 8·8 Offshore Maule, Chile earthquake is a significant event in seismology and earthquake engineering. The earthquake occurred on a convergent plate boundary (subduction zone) and affected a large area that a significant number of tall buildings designed to modern building codes. An understanding of the seismological and tectonic setting of this earthquake, together with understanding of the behaviour of structures, will further research and enhancements in seismic design in similar convergent plate boundary environments, such as the Cascadia subduction zone off the coast of the Pacific north-west in the USA and Canada and other areas around the world.
