Dr. Hines’s primary research area is in the design and assessment of collapse resistant low-ductility systems in moderate seismic regions. His research team is currently developing a design philosophy for these systems that relies on a stiff, primary lateral system to resist wind loads and a flexible, semi-ductile, reserve system to resist collapse under a major seismic event. Structures designed according to such a philosophy promise to become not only more reliable and cost-effective, but also more adaptable to creative structural ideas. Dr. Hines writes and teaches about the history of structural design and its relationship to architectural design, cultivating a direct and dynamic link with his practice in Cambridge.
