NIST only participates in the February and August reviews.
This research opportunity focuses on developing and improving the state-of-the-art methods for analysis, modeling, and simulation of structural responses for performance-based seismic engineering of tall buildings. Opportunities include the following: (1) developing improved modeling and analytical capabilities for nonlinear dynamic analysis; (2) investigating structural stability, large displacement responses, failure mechanisms, and collapse; (3) investigating the effects of coupling between geometric nonlinearity and material nonlinearity; (4) quantifying performance of structures and components; (5) improving seismic resilience of structures with energy dissipation devices; and (6) quantifying uncertainties and fragilities of structural responses.
