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: Generating Building-specific Fragility Curves
(2019-05)
Fragility curves represent a structure’s likelihood of damage under a range of load levels—like those from natural hazards. They, therefore, help to set building code safety factors, resiliency ratings, and even insurance ...
