Coming soon: May 31, 2017 - SimCenter Early Career Researcher Forum Webinar - "Uncertainty Analysis of Structural Seismic Response Parameters Using High-Throughput Computing." Registration now open: https://www.designsafe-ci.org/learning-center/webinar-170531/

Reliability-based seismic design of structures requires an ensemble of nonlinear time history analyses (NLTHA) based on a nonlinear finite element (FE) model of the structure of interest. This ensemble of NLTHAs typically accounts for the seismic record-to-record variability, but can also consider t...
