Eatherton Receives the NSF CAREER Award
Eatherton received the NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) grand for his proposal related to developing innovative structural systems for multi-hazard resistance using steel plates with cutouts. The project will create new enhanced structural systems by strategically removing material (i.e. … Continue reading
Buckling Restrained Brace Subassemblage Testing
Our research group teamed up with Bluescope to test an innovative all-steel buckling restrained brace that they developed. A subassemblage test setup was used to show that the new brace satisfies the qualification criteria in the AISC Seismic Provisions. Click … Continue reading
