Experimental Determination of Performance of Drift-Sensitive Nonstructural Facade Under Seismic Loading (NEES-2011-1049)

<p><strong>Title</strong>: Experimental Determination of Performance of Drift-Sensitive Nonstructural Facade Under Seismic Loading (NEES-2011-1049)</p> <p><strong>Year Of Curation: </strong>2013</p> <p><strong>Description: </strong>A multi-disciplinary investigation into the seismic performance of various state-of-the-art nonstructural systems for commercial real estate. The primary system evaluated was precast concrete cladding facade. Also evaluated were window units and plumbing risers. Evaluation included experimental testing, structural simulation, robotic post-event inspection methods, data synchronization and post-event adaptive reuse of building components. Experimental testing was conducted in 2011 and 2012.</p> <p><strong>Award: </strong>http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=0619157</p> <p><strong>PIs & CoPIs: </strong>Kurt McMullin, Thuy Le, Winncy Du</p> <p><strong>Dates: </strong>September 01, 2006 - September 30, 2012</p> <p><strong>Organizations: </strong>San Jose State University, San Jose, CA, United States</p> <p><strong>Facilities: </strong>University of California, Berkeley, CA, United States/p></p> <p><strong>Sponsor: </strong>NSF - CMMI - 0619157</p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong></p> <p><strong>Publications: </strong><br /> Kurt Michael McMullin, Eugenia L Tai, "Adaptive Reuse of Concrete Cladding Panels" <br /> Thuy Le, Kurt Michael McMullin, Naema Hashmi, "Cyberinfrastructure development for Design and Testing of Nonstructural Building Components"<br /> Kurt Michael McMullin, Maggie Ortiz, "Drift-Sensitive Experimental Testing of Precast Concrete Cladding"<br /> Kurt Michael McMullin, "Experimental Design and Detailing of a Precast Concrete Test Specimen for Building Facade Research" <br /> Paul Greco, Matthew Stone, Simon Wong "Experimental Testing of Precast Concrete Cladding for Building Facade Systems"<br /> Winncy Du, "Post-Earthquake Pipeline Leak Detection Technologies"<br /> Thuy Le, Kurt Michael McMullin, Naema Hashmi,"Synchronizer A Web-based Application to Enhance Capabilities of NEESCentral Web Portal"</p> <nb:citations></nb:citations>
