    Session Overview

    You design buildings one at a time but disasters strike entire cities.

     

    Empirical damage models break down the moment they face new structural systems with no historical loss data to lean on. In cities where major earthquakes haven't struck in decades, what is your actual basis for saying a building is safe?

     

    This webinar introduces a physics-based framework that scales nonlinear time history analysis from a single structure to hundreds of thousands of buildings across an entire city. By integrating GPU parallel computing, City Information Model (CIM = GIS + BIM), and AI, you will see how hazards can be simulated within a single unified workflow and how real cities have already been assessed within two hours of an actual seismic event.

     

    🎁 All attendees are provided with Techinical Guide written directly by the speaker after a quick survey submission

    Learning Objectives

    📌Understand why city scale Nonlinear Time-History Analysis (NLTHA) is both necessary and now achievable 

     

    📌 Master a City Information Model (CIM = GIS + BIM) -based multi-hazard simulation workflow that unifies earthquake, fire, and wind in one framework 


    📌 Learn how AI-accelerated damage assessment can be deployed in real post-earthquake response 

     

     

     

    Who Should Attend

    ✋  Structural engineers working on buildings in seismically active regions who want to move beyond code compliance and understand how their designs perform at a city scale 

     

    Government and public sector engineers responsible for urban disaster preparedness, post-earthquake emergency response, or city-level risk assessment 

     

    Engineering firm leaders and technical directors looking to strengthen their practice's capability in seismic performance assessment and disaster risk analysis
