Development of a Performance-Based Seismic Design Philosophy for Mid-Rise Woodframe Construction (NEES-2010-0895)

<p><strong>Title</strong>: Development of a Performance-Based Seismic Design Philosophy for Mid-Rise Woodframe Construction (Capstone test) (NEES-2010-0895)</p> <p><strong>Year Of Curation: </strong>2012</p> <p><strong>Description: </strong>A series of five shake table tests was conducted on a full-scale mid-rise building at Japan's E-Defense as the last task within the NEESWood Project. Test Day 1 consisted of the 7-story mixed use building with a moderate and then a design-level earthquake intensity used as input motion. Test Day 2 consisted of the same input motions with the SMF locked down to enable only participation of the six-story woodframe building. The last day, Test Day 3 had only a single test at MCE seismic intensity. All ground motions were scaled per ASCE 7-05 for Los Angeles, CA. Data sets include approximately 100 sensors ranging from accelerometers, to strain gauges, to string potentiometers. In addition, 50 optical tracking markers provided 3-D movement on three sides of the building with an approximate accuracy of +/- 1mm.</p> <p><strong>Award: </strong>http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=0529903</p> <p><strong>PIs & CoPIs: </strong>John Van de Lindt</p> <p><strong>Dates: </strong>June 30, 2009 - July 14, 2009</p> <p><strong>Organizations: </strong>Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO, United States</p> <p><strong>Facilities: </strong>Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO, United States,<br /> Hyogo Earthquake Engineering Research Center (E-Defense), Miki, Japan</p> <p><strong>Sponsor: </strong>NSF - 0529903</p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>e-defense, Japan, full scale, shake table testing, light frame wood building</p> <p><strong>Publications: -</strong></p> <nb:citations></nb:citations>
