AI-Assistance for Resilience Research and Practice

Ongoing
Objective - In FY25, the project will focus on developing and evaluating human-in-the-loop AI-assisted methods for data curation, data analysis, and behavioral experiments. These efforts will support decision-making to enhance community resilience against compound risks from extreme weather events...

Cyber Physical Systems and Internet of Things Program

Ongoing
Objective - Enable scalable, dependable design methods and reproducible performance measurement for effective and trustworthy (reliable, safe, secure, resilient and privacy-enhancing) cyber-physical systems and IoT, by means of new measurement science, advanced testing and assurance capabilities and...

Cyber-Physical Systems/Internet of Things for Smart Cities

Ongoing
Objective - To provide the measurement science and standards-based foundations for interoperable, replicable, scalable, and trustworthy cyber-physical systems that can be readily and cost-effectively deployed by cities and communities of all types and sizes to improve their efficiency...

Design Methods for Resilient Community Systems

Completed
Objective - To advance design and assessment methods for buildings and infrastructure to improve their ability to support the social and economic functions they support and community resilience. What is the technical idea? Quantitative approaches to identify and evaluate the performance of the built...

Development and Implementation of the Community Resilience Planning Guides

Ongoing
Objective By 2028, publish updated community resilience planning and decision-making guidance documents that are supported by natural hazard and resilience planning & analysis tools, based on collaboration and engagement with end-user communities, professional organizations, and government agencies...

Functional Recovery of Buildings and Lifelines

Ongoing
Objective To improve the recovery time of buildings and lifeline infrastructure by strengthening the design of the built environment to withstand future earthquake impacts, considering economic and implementation issues, providing a standard framework for the U.S. construction industry to deliver...

Methods for Community Resilience Tradeoffs

Completed
Objective - To support community resilience planning in the context of multiple competing objectives, including sustainability, adaptation, and public health, by evaluating complementarities and tradeoffs. What is the technical idea? Communities face multiple competing objectives in planning...

Proximity Detection for Electronic Contact Tracing

Completed
We are developing performance metrics for not just ranging, but also for detecting close contacts, which in the context of COVID-19 is the situation where two people are less than six feet apart with no obstacles between them. Obviously, the duration of a close contact is important, as it affects...

Risk Assessment for Forward-Looking Building Standards

Ongoing
Objective This project will significantly advance industry capacity for measuring and quantifying impacts from building damage/failure and develop guidance for the design and assessment of geotechnical considerations and multiple hazards that threaten buildings and infrastructure. Technical Idea To...

Risk Evaluation and Mitigation

Ongoing
Objective To improve techniques currently used for risk evaluation (including uncertainty quantification) and mitigation (including FRP retrofit) of structural systems and integrate them within the performance based earthquake engineering framework. Technical Idea The technical idea for each of the...
