I have removed this following section from the article because it is not clear to me what it refers to. Does it refer to the development of modal analysis, and if so, who is credited with this? It seems as though UC-SDRL may be claiming this honor [1], although this is not explicit, and it occurs after 1967. I cannot read the ASCE article (except for the abstract), so I apologize if I have removed it in error. --Muchado 16:14, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Seismic Analysis got its start with the Caracas, Venezuela Earthquake of 1967 [2]. It was noticed that the distribution of damage to mid-rise buildings was closely correlated to soil depth and number of stories. From this inspiration, computerized seismic analysis was developed that could calculate the frequency response of structures.
