Performance of the Base-Isolated Christchurch Women's Hospital during the EQs from Sept. 2010-2011 (NEES-2011-1098)

<p><strong>Title</strong>: Performance of the Base-Isolated Christchurch Women's Hospital during the Sequence of Strong Earthquakes and Aftershocks in New Zealand from September 2010 through 2011 (NEES-2011-1098)</p> <p><strong>Year Of Curation: </strong>2013</p> <p><strong>Description: </strong>The objective of this Rapid Research Response (RAPID) award is to collect perishable data on the seismic response of the base-isolated Christchurch Women's Hospital during the sequence of strong earthquakes and aftershocks in Canterbury, New Zealand from September 2010 through 2011. The relatively high probability of additional strong aftershocks in 2011 presents a unique opportunity to capture high-fidelity data on the performance of a modern seismically-isolated structure. This project involves collaboration among researchers at Duke University and the University of Canterbury. The project team will travel to Christchurch to temporarily instrument the isolation galley and the top level of the Christchurch Women's Hospital with accelerometers, displacement transducers, and data recorders loaned from the George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) facility at the University of California, Los Angeles. This instrumentation is capable of enabling near real-time observation of the building response measurements. Aftershock responses will be recorded automatically over a period of months and ambient vibrations will be recorded periodically. These records will be used to assess the behavior and to develop mathematical models of this seismically-isolated structure, including soil-foundation-structure interaction effects and the effects of inter-structural coupling.</p> <p><strong>Award: </strong>http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1138714</p> <p><strong>PIs & CoPIs: </strong>Henri Gavin</p> <p><strong>Dates: </strong>September 03, 2010 - June 26, 2012</p> <p><strong>Organizations: </strong>Duke University, NC, United States,,University of California, Los Angeles, CA, United States,,University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand</p> <p><strong>Facilities: </strong>University of California, Los Angeles, CA, United States</p> <p><strong>Sponsor: </strong>NSF - 1138714</p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>base isolation,seismic isolation,Christchurch Earthquake,field test,full scale,aftershock</p> <p><strong>Publications: </strong></p> <nb:citations></nb:citations>

**标题：** 2010年9月至2011年新西兰克赖斯特彻奇强震及余震序列中基础隔震（Base-Isolated）克赖斯特彻奇妇女医院的性能表现（NEES-2011-1098）
**整理年份：** 2013
**项目描述：** 本快速研究响应（RAPID）项目的目标是收集2010年9月至2011年新西兰坎特伯雷地区强震及余震序列期间，基础隔震（Base-Isolated）克赖斯特彻奇妇女医院的地震响应易失性数据。2011年该区域仍存在较高的强余震发生概率，这为获取现代隔震结构性能的高保真数据提供了独特契机。本项目由杜克大学与坎特伯雷大学的研究人员合作开展。项目团队将前往克赖斯特彻奇，借助加州大学洛杉矶分校的乔治·E·布朗 Jr. 地震工程模拟网络（NEES）设施所借出的加速度计、位移传感器及数据记录仪，对克赖斯特彻奇妇女医院的隔震层与顶层进行临时布设。该监测系统可实现建筑响应的近实时观测。余震响应数据将在数月内自动记录，环境振动数据则将定期采集。这些记录将用于评估该隔震结构的工作性能，并建立其数学模型，其中涵盖土-基础-结构相互作用效应与结构间耦合效应的影响。
