Dr. Andre Barbosa was featured in a piece written by Nick Houtman posted a great story on “Oregon 9.0 When the next Big One comes, will we be ready?”. Among other researchers at Oregon State University, . http://oregonstate.edu/terra/2013/05/oregon-9-0/ … via @oregonstateuniv

Dr. Andre Barbosa presented a talk on “Modeling of frame structures in fire using OpenSees” at the OpenSees Days 2013 at the UC Berkeley (Richmond Field Station). This talk presents the basic capabilities of OpenSees in modeling steel structures in fire and it is based on recent extensions done to OpenSees by Dr. Asif Usmani and his group at the University of Edinburgh.  The slides and a video of the talk will be posted on the OpenSees Days 2013 website shortly (http://youtu.be/UEkvreoJojc).
