Improving seismic resilience and sustainable design with Andre Barbosa

Andre BarbosaProfessor, Structural EngineeringOregon State University Episode 1. The NHERI Converging Design project merges functional recovery with sustainability. Project PI Andre Barbosa of Oregon State University joins us to discuss how the shake table experiments at UC San Diego shake table will lead to improved building codes in seismically vulnerable zones like the Pacific Northwest. Get background info on the multi-institutional NHERI Converging Design project: https://tallwoodinstitute.org/converging-design-home-5663/Read up on Professor Barbosa’s research at OSU: https://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~barbosa/ The NHERI at UC San Diego shake table, LHPOST6, is the world’s largest outdoor shake table: https://ucsd.designsafe-ci.org/ Follow Dr. Barbosa on X: @BarbosaRDGroup Questions about NHERI or NHERI extreme events research?
