The objectives
of the project are:
· Establishment of basic algorithms to assess the demand on and behavior of highly nonlinear structures through the full range of earthquake exposure and up to their collapse. · Development of a computational procedure for a performance- oriented building design and evaluation. · Development of model-based computer simulation experiments that effectively engage students in exploration of the related scientific and engineering concepts (for a sample, please click on the photo). · Development of the corresponding computer software capable of running a real time visualization of basic earthquake engineering situations / experiments. |
| The research will contribute to a better understanding of the behavior of buildings during an earthquake impact, which will facilitate informed decisions regarding their design, construction and anticipated performance evaluation, and will enable effective technological innovations. |
