This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities provides $452,243 to California State University Auxiliary Services Inc. (Cal State LA UAS) under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to acquire a confined bi-directional cyclic shear apparatus. The apparatus will support research and education efforts on earthquake-resilient infrastructure from September 2021 through August 2024. As the NSF's Directorate for Engineering seeks to improve quality of life and economic strength through engineering innovation and excellence, this equipment will allow Cal State LA UAS to conduct testing and analysis that furthers understanding of infrastructure performance during seismic events. The confined bi-directional cyclic shear apparatus will provide capabilities instrumental to developing infrastructure better able to withstand earthquakes and mitigate their costs.
