A team of CFSRC investigators (Arwade, Moen, and Schafer) in collaboration with AISI staff Dr. Helen Chen has recently been awarded a National Science Foundation grant to study system reliability of light steel framed buildings with an emphasis on how sub-systems that make-up a building: walls, floors, trusses influence the final system reliability. See the full NSF announcement here. Work commences August 1, 2013.
