Warehouse roof collapse

Posted: 

Abdollah Shafieezadeh (CEGE Assistant Professor) was recently interviewed by reporter Ted Hart from Channel 4 in reference to a warehouse roof collapse in Groveport, Ohio.  Dr. Shafieezadeh focuses his research on performance enhancement of complex systems and critical infrastructures against extreme hazard scenario.  These systems are becoming increasingly vulnerable to system-wide failure primarily due to aging, natural and manmade hazards, climate change, and increased interdependencies, among other factors.  More details about this research are located on his Risk Assessment and Management of Structural and Infrastructure Systems website.
