This website presents the activities of the Multi-Hazard Resilient Structures research group led by Dr. Thomas Gernay at Johns Hopkins University. Our group aims at developing knowledge and methods to enhance multi-hazard resilience of civil engineering structures. The group is particularly interested in studying the effects of fire and multi-hazard scenarios involving fire on materials, structures and systems.
Research interests include:
The group is involved in the development of SAFIR, a nonlinear finite element software that models the behavior of structures subjected to fire. For more information, visit our SAFIR page .
Research interests include:
- Modeling of materials and structures under extreme conditions
- Computational mechanics, numerical analysis, development of finite element software
- Uncertainty modeling and development of risk-based approach for structures under severe hazards
- Urban community resilience assessment
