May 6 webinar: Functional Passive Seismic Control Devices for Functional Recovery of Structures

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

*NHERI Lehigh Seminar Series: Functional Passive Seismic Control Devices
for Functional Recovery of Structures*
*Date: May 6*
*Time: 4:00 - 5:00 pm Eastern *

The current code-conforming structural systems are expected to dissipate
energy through pre-determined inelastic mechanisms, which provides
ductility to the structure and limits the force demands on structural
components. However, these inelastic mechanisms are likely to cause
significant damage and extensive post-earthquake downtime. In urban areas,
this can lead to a significant economic recession. Shape memory alloys
(SMAs) are metallic functional materials that offer complete shape recovery
and hysteretic behavior after experiencing large strains, excellent
resistance to corrosion, and high fatigue resistance.

Presenter is *Dr. Osman Ozbulut,* associate professor of civil engineering
at the University of Virginia.
