Research Brief: Validation of Molecular Dynamics-Based Structural Damage
(2019-03)
Windstorms currently generate $28 billion in average annual damage and this figure is projected to potentially rise to $38 billion by 2075. Traditional engineering approaches that analyze the resilience of structures fail ...
Research Brief: Molecular Dynamics-based Resilience Assessment of Structures
(2020-07)
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), losses due to fire in structures in America amount to around $13 billion annually. Despite these severe economic consequences, building codes often don’t ...
Research Brief: A Resilience Assessment of Structures Using Molecular Dynamics
(2018-06)
Between 1993-ˇ2012, more than 75% of catastrophic losses in the United States were caused by windstorms
(1). The Congressional Budget Office estimated an average annual damage amounting to $28 billion (0.16 percent of GDP), ...
