Earthquakes and Car Accidents: An Overview of Capacity Based Design and Nonlinear Analysis

It was a great day for driving that autumn morning. The sun was shining; the music was playing, then BAM! As the SUV hit the front end of my small Coupe, the bumper bent first. Next, the crash box and then frame deformed inward dissipating energy. The crash energy continued thorough the steering column past a faulty airbag into my unlucky forehead. Other than a headache and some small stitches, I was fortunate to walk away. Twenty years ago the outcome would have been very different. This recent focus on energy dissipation has saved lives in more than just the automotive industry. Modern buildings are also designed to dissipate energy during a seismic event.

Celebrating Women in Architecture: Patty Morgan Norberg, AIA, Principal, CSHQA

Please tell us about yourself.
It is my pleasure to say I am an Idaho native from southern Idaho, went to school in Boise, and then transferred to the University of Idaho where I found my people and passion for architecture. I have been licensed for about 30 years, have been a part of the same company, and have helped it grow to the multi-state, work-from-anywhere culture we have today. I was the first female stockholder in a firm that is over a century old.

I have been learning and growing in that position since that time.
