NHERI will be well-represented at the Advanced International School Soil-Structure Interaction in Opensees (SSI-OS) September 9-11 in Assisi, Italy, with several team members providing instructional presentations:
- Pedro Arduino, University of Washington, NHERI SimCenter and DesignSafe
- Silvia Mazzoni, University of Texas, NHERI DesignSafe
- Frank McKenna, Berkeley, NHERI SimCenter
- Faisal Malik, Lehigh University, NHERI Lehigh Experimental Facility
The SSI-OS school kicks off the week, followed by the Computational Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction workshop (CompDSS). Information for the weeklong event can be found here.
The SSI-OS School September 9-11:
In SSI-OS we explore soil-structure interaction modeling in OpenSees, focusing on critical issues of the implementation. After an introduction to OpenSees, the development of nonlinear dynamic analyses is the main goal of this path. New-generation approaches for assessing the dynamic performance of soil-structure systems will be described and techniques to implement new features in OpenSees will be discussed, of interest for both Users and Developers.
The Computational Workshop September 11-13:
Advances in the field of soil-structure interaction are impacting design, retrofitting and protection of civil engineering structures against natural hazards. CompDSSI is an in-person International Workshop devoted to new-generation numerical approaches for the dynamic analysis of soil-structure systems of strong practical relevance, investigating critical issues and high -fidelity methods applicable from local to regional scale.
