Structural Reliability Research Group

Dr. Rosowsky's research group is conducting research in the areas of structural reliability, performance of wood structural systems, design for natural hazards, stochastic modeling of structural and environmental loads, reliability-based assessments, and probability-based codified design. Current research addresses three topics: (1) behavior of the built environment subject to natural hazards, (2) modeling and analysis of load effects on buildings and other structures, with particular emphasis on complex environmental phenomena, and (3) performance-based engineering for design, post-disaster condition assessment, and loss estimation studies.

In the area of performance-based engineering, Dr. Rosowsky and his research group are exploring the potential applications of fragility analysis techniques and performance-based concepts to both design and assessment of light-frame structures built in high hazard regions. They are also examining issues around the potential use of both existing strength design provisions and emerging performance-based design requirements.
