Author(s)

Bilal Ayyub, Robert E. Chapman, Gearald Galloway, Richard Wright

This report documents the effort launched by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop, organize, and convene a workshop on the economics of community disaster resilience to promote the use of economics for system sustainment and

A Review of NIST Projects in Surface and Topography Metrology for Firearm Evidence Identification in Forensic Science

February 10, 2016

Author(s)

Jun-Feng Song, Xianping Liu

This is a review of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) efforts in surface metrology and topography measurements for firearm evidence identifications in forensic science. Based on the research projects in surface metrology and

Firebrand Production from Building Components Fitted with Siding Treatments

February 1, 2016

Author(s)

Samuel L. Manzello, Sayaka Suzuki

Firebrand production from real-scale building components under well-controlled laboratory conditions was investigated. Re-entrant corner assemblies were ignited and during the combustion process, firebrands were collected to determine the size/mass

COMPUTATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR MODELING AND ENHANCING COMMUNITY RESILIENCE: INTRODUCING THE CENTER FOR RISK-BASED COMMUNITY RESILIENCE PLANNING

December 10, 2015

Author(s)

John W. van de Lindt, Bruce Ellingwood, Therese P. McAllister, Gardoni Paolo, Daniel Cox, Harvey Cutler, Walter G. Peacock

The resilience of a community is defined as its ability to prepare for, withstand, recover from and adapt to the effects of natural or human-caused disasters, and depends on the performance of the built environment and on supporting social, economic and

Quantification of Nanoparticle Release from Polymer Nanocomposite Coatings due to Environmental Stressing

December 8, 2015

Yeon S. Kim, Nasir M. Uddin, Marc R. Nyden, Richard H. Harris Jr., Savelas A. Rabb, Rick D. Davis

Certain engineered nanoparticles (ENP) reduce the flammability of components used in soft furnishings (mattresses and upholstered furniture). Most commonly these ENPs are montmorillonite clay (MMTs), multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNTs) and carbon

Characterizing the thermal effects of High Energy Arc Faults

November 30, 2015

Author(s)

Anthony D. Putorti Jr., Nicholas Melly, Scott Bareham, Joseph E. Praydis

International and domestic operating experience involving High Energy Arc Faults (HEAF) in Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) electrical power systems have demonstrated the potential to cause extensive damage to electrical components and distribution systems along

Community Resilience Planning Guide for Buildings and Infrastructure Systems, Volume I

October 29, 2015

Author(s)

Therese P. McAllister

The CRPG provides a methodology for local government to bring together all of the relevant stakeholders to establish performance goals to maintain the social and economic fabric when disruptive events occur; in other words, to be resilient. The CRPG is

Research needs and gaps for developing a risk-based framework for facility and community disaster resilience

July 30, 2015

Author(s)

Therese P. McAllister

Resilience has been defined as the ability to prepare and plan for, absorb, recover from, and more successfully adapt to adverse events. The term resilience is applied to a range of topics including physical security, business continuity, emergency

Community Resilience Planning Guide for Buildings and Infrastructure Systems

July 20, 2015

Author(s)

Stephen A. Cauffman

Every community in the United States faces the risk of natural, human-caused, or technological hazards. While most hazards do not rise to the level of extreme events, natural hazards often inflict significant economic losses and disruption to lives and

A Framework to Develop Community Resilience Performance Goals and Assessment Metrics for Decision Making

July 15, 2015

Author(s)

Therese P. McAllister

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting research to develop a Community Disaster Resilience Framework and quantitative science-based assessment tools and metrics for community resilience. The research focuses on the

Proposed Congruent Matching Cells (CMC) Method for Ballistic Identifications and Evidence Searches*

June 15, 2015

Author(s)

Jun-Feng Song

The "correlation cells" and three-dimensional (3D) topography measurements have been proposed for establishment of the "NIST Ballistics Identification System (NBIS)" [1, 2]. Based on the concept of correlation cells, a "Contiguous Matching Cells (CMC)"
