Description

The project objectives involved (a) the development of open access material and structural performance databases in a consistent format with emphasis on metallic elements; (b) the development of a web-based application software with enhanced visualization features; (c) interactive computational models for prognosticating the behavior of metallic materials and members under mechanical loading; (c) animated surfaces referring to particular structural elements that quantify the probability of being of exceeding certain damage states. All the project objectives were met during the course including various dissemination activities in the research and engineering communities. Moreover, illustrative videos were developed that demonstrate how the front-end web tool may be used. The videos were also made publicly available. The databases and web-based data hosting platform can facilitate the simulation-assisted design and analysis of steel and composite-steel concrete structures by means of physics-based and data-driven approaches. Moreover, the technological advancements are adaptable and scalable. The research project also delivered comprehensive guidelines on how to standardize highly heterogeneous data including visualization practices in natural hazards engineering.
