RESEARCH VISION
Dr. Wiebe is developing tools and educating people to meet the structural engineering challenges of a rapidly urbanizing globe.
Motivated by a vision for a society that is more sustainable, equitable, and resilient, his research group uses large-scale experiments and advanced numerical modelling to develop economical ways of revolutionizing seismic performance.
The end goal of this research is to transform seismic resilience from a lofty ambition, reserved for only special structures, to a routine outcome of all modern design.
