Shake table payload opportunities with cold-formed steel buildings project at UC San Diego

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

As part of the project aimed at advancing understanding and design
methodologies for CFS building systems, shake table tests will be performed
at the NSF-supported Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure
(NHERI) Large High Performance Outdoor Shake Table at UC San Diego, in
June-July 2018 (phase 1) and Nov-Dec 2018 (phase 2).



These two phases of large-scale shake table tests, which will guide the
design of a third and final phase of testing of a full-scale building
system (2019), will provide excellent opportunities for payload
experiments, and NHERI researchers are encouraged to consider taking
advantage of either phase.



The payload research opportunities could be supported by the NSF. Examples
of possible payload projects include the deployment and validation of
innovative sensing and measuring technologies for motion and damage
evolution tracking. Interested researchers may contact the project team
members: Dr. Tara Hutchinson, Dr. Benjamin Schafer, or Dr. Kara Peterman at
tara at ucsd.edu, schafer at jhu.edu, or kdpeterman at umass.edu for information
about payload project planning and proposals to the NSF.
