Christopher Segura (Fed)
Research Structural Engineer
Christopher Segura is a Research Structural Engineer in the Earthquake Engineering Group at NIST. He conducts applied research aimed at reducing risks to the built environment caused by earthquakes and other extreme loads. His research interests include seismic design and assessment of reinforced concrete buildings and infrastructure, nonlinear structural modeling, large-scale laboratory testing, uncertainty quantification, and advancement of low-damage seismic design approaches. He is a member of the National Construction Safety Team's technical investigation of the partial collapse of the Champlain Towers South condominium in Surfside, Florida. He is also co-leading a project investigating the benefits of low-damage earthquake-resistant structures.
Dr. Segura is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the American Concrete Institute (ACI), and the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI). He serves on ACI Committee 318 (Structural Concrete Building Code), ACI 133 (Disaster Reconnaissance), ACI 369 (Seismic Repair and Rehabilitation), and ACI 374 (Performance-Based Seismic Design of Concrete Buildings).
