The National Science Foundation awarded a $250,000 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) to develop an artificial intelligence system for prediction of wind hazards in civil engineering applications. The two-year project beginning May 1, 2022 will create prototype technology for implementing advanced performance-based wind design through explicit evaluation of building performance at all hazard intensities, including ultimate load levels where significant damage is expected, while systematically treating uncertainty through reliability analysis. The technology is intended to provide civil and structural engineers with a means to evaluate the inelastic performance of buildings and other structures subject to extreme winds, enabling assessment against failure due to ratcheting, low cycle fatigue, or instantaneous plastic collapse. This supports the grant program's goal of fostering innovation in engineering research.
