Water-borne Hazards Engineering with Uncertainty Quantification

Justin Bonus , Ajay B Harish , Frank McKenna

The Water-borne Hazards Engineering with Uncertainty Quantification (HydroUQ app) is an open-source research application for predicting the response of a building in a community subjected to water-borne events, namely tsunamis and storm surges. The application is focused on quantifying the uncertainties in the predicted structural response, given the uncertainties in models, loads, and analysis. The computations are performed in a workflow application that will run on a high-performance computer made available by DesignSafe.

This document covers the features and capabilities of Version 3.0 of the tool. Users are encouraged to comment on what additional features and capabilities they would like to see in future versions of the application through the Message Board.
