This $127,940 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to develop an innovative seismic resilient structural system at Stanford University from October 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023. The system aims to protect buildings and their occupants from earthquakes through a new steel frame-spine design with force-limiting connections. Researchers will collaborate with counterparts in Japan to test the system using a full-scale earthquake facility. They also plan to offer an online course...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $400,000 Project Grant to the University of Washington to advance earthquake engineering research on cast-in-place concrete diaphragms with openings in reinforced concrete buildings. The 3-year project, beginning January 1, 2024, will develop a fundamental understanding of how openings for stairs, elevators, and mechanical systems affect the seismic performance of concrete floor diaphragms. The research...
