E-Defense test & blind prediction competition

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

*Tokyo Metropolitan Resilience Project E-defense Test, December 2019*



The University of Tokyo’s Earthquake Research Institute (ERI) is pleased to
announce a blind prediction competition
<http://www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp/KUSUNOKI-LAB/index17.html> for an E-defense
test to be performed in December 2019
<http://www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp/KUSUNOKI-LAB/index17_4.html> as part of the
Tokyo Metropolitan Resilience Project.



The test specimen is a 3-story reinforced concrete building with spandrel
walls casted monolithically with the frame elements. Participants will be
tasked with predicting various building response parameters, such as peak
interstory drifts and base shear. For details on contest rules, specimen
details, test plan and prizes, click here to visit the project web site
<http://www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp/KUSUNOKI-LAB/index17.html>.



A “Lessons Learnt” workshop will be held to assess the reliability of
analysis methods and assumptions adopted, identify future research needs
and discuss potential for international collaboration. This workshop will
be scheduled in September 2020, around the time of the 17th World
Conference on Earthquake Engineering <http://www.17wcee.jp/> in Sendai,
Japan, with international participation anticipated.
