Congratulations to Aradhana Agarwal and Kelley Grabner for presenting their research in June at the 11th National Conference on Earthquake Engineering, held in Los Angeles! Aradhana presented “Comparison of the Seismic Performance of Multi-Story and Multi-Tiered Braced Frames” and Kelley presented “Preliminary Performance Assessment of Special Concentrically-Braced Frames for Moderate Seismic Regions.” Aradhana is continuing in her PhD studies and Kelley is now working for KPFF in Seattle.

Agarwal and Kozak Present Research
Congratulations to Aradhana Agarwal and Derek Kozak, who recently presented at national conferences! Aradhana presented her paper, “Seismic Performance Assessment of Steel Multi-Tiered Ordinary Concentrically-Braced Frames” at the Structural Stability Research Council Annual Stability Conference, which is held as part of the AISC North American Steel Construction Conference. Derek presented his paper “Effects of soil conditions on the seismic response of three-span integral abutment bridges” at the ASCE Structures Congress.
19th Annual Illinois Structural Engineering Conference
The 19th Annual Illinois Structural Engineering Conference will be held on April 4, 2018 at the iHotel and Conference Center. Students are encouraged to attend (at no cost)!
Fahnestock Presents at STESSA
Larry Fahnestock attended the international conference STESSA – Behavior of Steel Structures in Seismic Areas and presented the paper “Seismic Stability of Buckling-Restrained Braced Frames,” which was co-authored with former MS student Santiago Zaruma. Santiago is now a practicing structural engineer with ADSTREN in Quito, Ecuador. Robert Tremblay (Polytechnique Montreal) presented the paper “Contribution of Beam-Column Connections with Bolted Angles in the Reserve Capacity and Full-Scale Cyclic Testing,” which documents research that was part of an international collaborative project on seismic stability of low-ductility braced frames. All papers presented at STESSA are published online at Scientific.Net.
3rd Huixian International Forum on Earthquake Engineering for Young Researchers
On August 11-12, over 130 researchers from around the world participated in the 3rd Huixian International Forum on Earthquake Engineering for Young Researchers. Parallel sessions covered a wide range of topics, including: seismic design and response of buildings and bridges, supplemental energy dissipation and seismic control, hybrid simulation and testing methods, and sensing and condition assessment. Keynote lectures were delivered by Professors Youssef Hashash, Paulo Lourenco, Satish Nagarajaiah, Toru Takeuchi, Guo-Qiang Li and Hui Li. The 4th Huixian International Forum will be held next summer in Shanghai.
