*4th NHERI-NIED/E-Defense Research Collaboration Meeting and Live Shake
Table Testing - TODAY*


*December 16 | 8:00pm-11:00pm EST*



Register at the DesignSafe Learning Center

.



Natural hazards researchers are welcome to attend the fourth research
meeting between NHERI and Japan’s National Research Institute for Earth
Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED <https://www.bosai.go.jp/e/index.html>
).



The virtual meeting will cover current and upcoming collaborations between
NHERI and NIED/E-Defense, which operates the 3D Full-Scale Earthquake
Testing Facility, called E-Defense
<https://www.bosai.go.jp/e/facilities/edefense.html>.



The session will cover details of the third test of the Tokyo Metropolitan
Resilience Project (Steel Structure) and a full-scale building test,
including hospital contents and equipment, by NSF-funded researchers under
this collaboration on the E-Defense shake table.



Attendees will watch a live-streamed test being conducted by an
international team from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,
Lehigh University, Oregon State University, Kyoto University and Hokkaido
University.  The frame-spine system with force-limiting connections will be
subjected to a 100% ground motion recording from the 1994 Northridge
earthquake.



Meeting participants will also receive information on aspects and explore
possible opportunities to collaborate with our colleagues from Japan on the
Fourth Test (Non-Structural Elements) of the Tokyo Metropolitan Resilience
Project. Updates will be provided on the collaboration during the First
(Wood Structure) and the Second (Reinforced Concrete Structure) Tests
previously conducted under the same collaboration.
