Natural hazards engineers vs earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis! Produced by the NHERI network, a U.S. National Science Foundation suppported research award.
How will a 10-story, steel-framed building fare in an earthquake? Ben Schafer, @HopkinsEngineer , joins us to discuss the (not so) surprising capabilities of cold-formed steel. designsafe-ci.org/community/…
This is it. *THE* video to watch from yesterday's destructive supercell. Credit to Iskra Mahler for catching it on his drone from east Austin.
Edited to highlight:
1. Wall cloud over Austin with brief tornado attempt
2. Rare capture of a microburst
3. FFD ripping into the city
I am speaking at 14th International Conference on Structural Safety and Reliability. Please check out my talk if you're attending the event! - via #Whova event app
FDEM Director Kevin Guthrie urged South Floridians to be prepared, be ready, and have a plan. FDEM grant funding made Saturday's Eye of the Storm a free admission day at MODS. Now is the time to finalize your hurricane plans for your family, home and business.
Kicked off hurricane season at the Eye of the Storm event @MODSFTL — where education meets preparedness. When people understand the science behind hurricanes and how to stay safe, our entire community becomes stronger. Events like this make science accessible, relevant, and FUN!
Cold-formed steel! A resilient material we rarely hear about. Get a smart intro on the topic w/research engineer Ben Schafer of @JohnsHopkins .
