• A methodology for predicting sidesway collapse of deteriorating structural systems

 

  • An extensive database on deterioration properties of structural steel and reinforced concrete components, including uncertainty measures accounting for modeling and material uncertainties

 

  • Incorporation of component deterioration models in the OpenSees platform

 

  • Documentation of a comprehensive collapse experiment with data that covers the range of response of a 4 – story steel frame structure from elastic behavior to incipient collapse

 

  • A methodology for computing the probability of sidesway collapse that accounts for hazard, ground motion, and structural (material modeling) uncertainties

 

  • Recommendations for design for collapse safety
