This $200,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Engineering (47.041) program will support Marquette University's development of segmented braces for improved seismic performance and repair of concentrically braced frames. The university will conduct experimental testing and computational modeling to evaluate the seismic behavior and residual capacity of segmented brace designs that focus repair on the brace midspan. This aims to facilitate relatively fast, low-cost...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $399,915 will fund fundamental scientific research to develop a novel method for simulating fracture behavior in steel structures under extreme loads and hazards. The award, which runs from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028, is part of the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The research aims to integrate fracture mechanics with an enriched frame element formulation, enabling more accurate prediction of fracture initiation and...
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...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $559,998 awarded under the Engineering (47.041) program will fund research at the New Jersey Institute of Technology to understand and quantify seismic performance for the design of reinforced concrete structures using highly ductile fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (HPFRCCs). Beginning August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2027, the awardee will integrate physical experimentation, computational modeling, and risk assessment to develop new...
This $199,638 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research by the San Diego State University (SDSU) Research Foundation to develop an improved seismic-resistant timber-concrete connection using replaceable ductile anchor rods. The goal is to enhance the seismic resilience of mass timber structures by enabling rapid post-earthquake repair through a reliable ductile mechanism that dissipates energy in the anchor connecting the...
This two-year, $240,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research at the University of California Irvine to evaluate the effect of vertical accelerations on the seismic performance of steel building components through experimental and numerical studies. A near full-scale, ten-story steel building will be instrumented and tested on a shake table in Japan, with the experimental data used to create finite element models. These models...
This $457,384 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of a new computational framework for stochastic analysis of quasibrittle damage and fracture through 2025. Funded under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), key products include a mechanism-based model for mapping random fields of material properties onto finite elements to resolve mesh dependence issues in stochastic finite element simulations of quasibrittle structures. Validation will utilize experimental...
