With the NFIP set to expire at the end of September, three Hopkins experts including Gonzalo Pita, weigh in on why flood mitigation—not just flood response—is key to addressing the growing frequency of flooding

The seismic testing will be used to determine the structural limits of cold-formed steel buildings and modernize U.S. building codes

China's approach could offer a pathway to break the 'cost curse'

Heating and cooling buildings could soon become greener and more affordable thanks to a new tool developed by Hopkins engineer and smart-grid expert Yury Dvorkin

Johns Hopkins engineers prove custom fire designs outperform standard codes on multiple measures

Engineers from Johns Hopkins and UC San Diego are leading a study to test the limits of cold-formed steel to improve disaster resilience and recovery

A computational tool developed by Johns Hopkins civil engineer Thomas Gernay predicts how fire affects structures, leading to more resilient designs and enhanced public safety

New analysis by Johns Hopkins researchers finds some bridges are likely to sustain catastrophic hits within the next few decades

Hopkins faculty, Gonzalo Pita, has charted the evolution of catastrophe modeling to understand its influence on natural disaster risk assessment and response
