PhD student Andronikos Skiadopoulos and former Doctoral Student Dr. Hikoyuki Inamasu received the Best Paper & Early Career Awards during the 17th World Conference of Earthquake Engineering (17WCEE). The conference took place in a hybrid fashion in Sendai, Japan last month. Both students presented ongoing work at RESSLab on the development of new models for the seismic behavior and design of beam-to-column connections as part of steel moment resisting frames and the developement of new dissipative column base connections to minimize structural damage in steel columns during earthquake loading. Congratulations!
