Expertise

Schiff had two primary research interests at Clemson University. One area of research was related to the structural performance on highway and railway bridges, and included monitoring of structural response in the field and development or improvement of structural systems. The second area of research focused on the performance of building and envelope systems in high winds (hurricanes and tornadoes). While many different systems were investigated, the majority of this research was related to light-frame wood construction.
