[Announce-test] NIST Research Funding Opportunity in Wind Engineering

[announce-test at designsafe-ci.org]

NIST has a current funding opportunity that may be of interest to NHERI
researchers. Note that the application deadline is August 27.


*Structural Performance under Multi-Hazard Program.* This program supports
research to improve the understanding of windstorms (hurricanes, tornadoes,
thunderstorms, and others) and coastal flooding events (storm surge and
tsunamis), their impacts, and impact mitigation. Proposals are solicited to
conduct research on:

1) quantification of wind loads on structural elements by computational
wind engineering methods;

2) quantification of localized wind loads on non-structural exterior
elements (cladding, windows, roofing, doors, etc.) of common engineered
structures by computational or experimental methods; and/or

3) development of new sensors and methods to collect spatiotemporal data on
windstorm phenomena, including surface-level winds and near ground velocity
profiles, atmospheric pressure, and storm surge flooding and velocity over
what is normally dry land (water level, current, and waves).


Applications are due *August 27*.  For more information and link to the
