What Is This Program?
What Benefits Are Offered?
NIST conducts research to develop improved acceptance criteria and modeling parameters for structural components. These outputs are designed for incorporation into performance-based methodologies and standards/codes (e.g., for wind, earthquake, disproportionate collapse) to create more robust and efficient buildings, uphold public safety, and ensure greater risk consistency across multiple hazards.
Who Is Eligible?
Other Criteria: This is a NIST internal research project focused on developing design standards and criteria, not a program for external entities to apply for funding. The project benefits the structural engineering community, including designers, builders, operators, and standards developing organizations (SDOs).
