  Using Machine Learning to predict structural collapse under extreme seismic events • Develop a nonlinear model of US code confirming steel and RC buildings using OpenSees and perform NLTHA. • Develop a comprehensive database using input and results of NLTHA. • Use the database to develop a statistical and machine learning model to predict the collapse under extreme seismic loading using different statistical and data science tools. US-Japan Collaboration on Testing of 10-story RC Frame • Studied a base isolation system for buildings utilizing a cast iron plate. • Modeled a full-scale 10-story RC Frame structure in OpenSees and ABAQUS and validated the response of the ABAQUS model with the experimental results from the shake table experiment performed in Japan.
