Collapse Simulation of Multi-Story Buildings Through Hybrid Testing (NEES-2010-0912)

<p><strong>Title:</strong> Collapse Simulation of Multi-Story Buildings Through Hybrid Testing (NEES-2010-0912)</p> <p><strong>Year Of Curation: </strong>2015</p> <p><strong>Description: </strong>Uncertainties in ground motions and structural response to those ground motions along with economic constraints impose the acceptance of a small probability of collapse. Assessment of this small probability of collapse requires the ability to confidently predict the response of structures through collapse. Experimental tests at the structural level are needed to validate collapse predictions and evaluate phenomena that are not represented adequately in component tests, but these tests are very expensive and potentially dangerous. To solve this problem, this project uses hybrid testing for collapse simulation.</p> <p><strong>Award: </strong>http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=0936633</p> <p><strong>PIs & CoPIs: </strong>Eduardo Miranda, Ricardo Medina, Gilberto Mosqueda</p> <p><strong>Dates: </strong>September 01, 2009 - September 16, 2013</p> <p><strong>Organizations: </strong>,California State University, Sacramento, CA, United States,    Stanford University, CA, United States,    State University of New York at Buffalo, NY, United States,    University of New Hampshire, NH, United States</p> <p><strong>Facilities: </strong>State University of New York at Buffalo, NY, United States,    University of California, Berkeley, CA, United States</p> <p><strong>Sponsor: </strong>NSF - 0936633 </p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Hybrid Simulation,Collapse</p> <p><strong>Publications:</strong> -- </p> <nb:citations></nb:citations>
