Engineering Research Equipment: Structural Engineering, Research Laboratory Development

该项目为克拉克森大学新开发的结构工程研究实验室购置额外的测试设备提供支持。该设备包括一个新的液压泵，能够维持3000 psi的压力和30加仑/分钟的流量，液压控制单元，以及用于测定混凝土材料特性（模量和泊松比）的设备。该设备的获得将提高现有的实验研究能力，并将对未来地震荷载下钢筋混凝土结构规范的制定产生更大的影响。这是一笔设备补助金。

This project provides support for acquisition of additional testing equipment to upgrade the newly developed structural engineering research laboratory at Clarkson University. This equipment includes a new hydraulic pump capable of maintaining 3000 psi pressure and flow volumes of 30 gallons per minute, hydraulic pressure control units, and apparatuses for determination of material properties of concrete (modulus, and Poisson's ratio). Acquisition of this equipment will improve the experimental research capability existing and will lead to greater impact on future code development for reinforced concrete structures under seismic loads. This is an equipment grant.
