How do structural engineers simulate the effect of fire on building structures? And what are the benefits? I discuss it in the presentation below hosted by HopkinsatHome @JHUCaSE

Congratulations to Ester @estgarcas! Thank you
@aespinos_upv
and the thesis committee. It was an excellent viva, and a great contribution to the fire safety of heritage buildings.

It was such a pleasure to visit ICITECH-UPV and learn more about the outstanding research in the institute. Many thanks Nacho, Ana @aespinos_upv, and all for hosting me and for the great discussions. I look forward to our continued collaboration between @IcitechUPV and @JHUCaSE

Today we received the visit of Prof @ThomasGernay from @JHUCaSE, who gave an interesting talk on “Optimization in structural #fire engineering of #steel and steel-concrete composite #structures”. Thanks Thomas for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us!🔥

It's not everyday that a 100-ft tall building is tested under #fire after #shaking. Thrilled to be able to collaborate with many on this project to take cold-formed steel to new heights and model the live fire tests, with support from the @NSF. More info: cfs10.ucsd.edu

Congrats to Asst. Prof. @ThomasGernay on receiving an @NSF CAREER supplement! His research aims to understand the post-earthquake fire performance of cold-formed steel structures to improve loss and downtime predictions: engineering.jhu.edu/case/news/thom… #civilizationengineered
