The seminar is being presented by Professor Asif Usmani from the BRE Center for Fire Safety Engineering at the University of Edinburgh. The webinar will present the new capabilities added to OpenSees with respect to the modeling of structures subjected to fire that Proferssor Usmani and his group developed. The following topics will be discussed:




*Background material showing real world examples and experimental tests
*Behaviour of materials at elevated temperatures
*New OpenSees classes and commands
*Examples
*Summary and conclusions


[http://openfresco.berkeley.edu OpenFresco] (the Open-source Framework for Experimental Setup and Control) is an environment-independent software framework, based on modern object-oriented software design and programming methodologies. The software connects finite element models with control and data acquisition systems in an extensible manner to facilitate conducting local and geographically distributed hybrid simulations of structural systems.
There will be time at the end of the seminar for questions.
