The University of California, Davis will receive $200,000 under a two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation. The grant funds the research project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: DEVELOPMENT OF REALISTIC SEISMIC INPUT MOTIONS FOR IMPROVING THE RESILIENCE OF INFRASTRUCTURE TO EARTHQUAKES" from November 2021 through October 2023.
This project supports the NSF Directorate for Engineering's goal of improving engineering research and education. Specifically, the University will develop more realistic models of seismic activity to enhance infrastructure resilience to earthquakes. The research aims to provide improved seismic input data that can strengthen the design of buildings, bridges and other structures against seismic hazards. Findings from this work should help mitigate earthquake damage risks and better protect communities. The award is funded through the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041).
