NIST recently completed a multi-year study of three structural steel framing systems to evaluate the correlation between ASCE/SEI 7 (ASCE 2010) and ASCE/SEI 41
To develop and deploy measurement science tools that enable the manufacturing, construction, and transportation industries to reliably assess the performance of
At present, there is no research facility in the world that allows scientists and engineers to conduct research on the response of real-scale structural systems
While it is a key aspect of structural analyses that support current Performance-Based Seismic Engineering (PBSE), "structural collapse" is not clearly defined

A preliminary kinetic model is presented for the combustion of the refrigerants: 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234yf), 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234ze(E))
The National Fire Research Laboratory (NFRL) is a unique experimental facility dedicated understanding fire behavior and structural response to fire. The
