Overview
In seismic design, understanding the complex behaviour of structures under earthquake loading is crucial for ensuring safety and resilience. Nonlinear response history analysis (NRHA) is now established as a powerful tool unlocking the potential of seismic performance. This presentation explores the importance of NRHA in seismic design, highlighting its ability to accurately predict structural responses.
We will discuss how NRHA is opening new avenues for the development of innovative seismic systems and materials, enabling engineers to design structures that not only withstand earthquakes but also optimize performance and cost-efficiency. Through case studies and recent advancements, we will illustrate the transformative potential of NRHA in shaping the future of seismic engineering.
