Current Project: Nonstructural Grand Challenge
Simulation of the Seismic Performance of Nonstructural Systems
This Grand Challenge project integrates multidisciplinary system-level studies that develop, for the first time, a simulation capability and implementation process for enhancing the seismic performance of the ceiling-piping-partition system. A comprehensive experimental program uses the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) and the University at Buffalo (UB) NEES Equipment Sites to conduct subsystem and system-level full-scale experiments.
