Abbie B. Liel

Abbie Liel is a professor of engineering at the University of Colorado. Her interests include seismic collapse performance prediction of structures and structural systems; building code provisions for extreme loads, such as earthquakes or snow; nonlinear modeling of structures, particularly non-ductile reinforced concrete; propagation of modeling and design uncertainties in structural performance assessments; life safety risks and economic losses associated with extreme loading; and earthquake performance of housing and schools internationally.
