Design of Breakaway Walls

9319841 Tung该项目涉及位于易受洪水侵袭的沿海地区的建筑物的防冲墙的设计和建造。 将墙板连接到建筑物和墙板本身的连接的行为和强度将通过实验进行研究。 将对这些试验的结果进行分析，并将开发一个模型，用于计算墙/建筑物系统对规定的风和水引起的荷载的响应。 还将制定一种评估作用在分离墙上的力以及墙的响应和破坏模式的方法。 这项研究所产生的知识将增加沿海地区人口的安全，并将有利于这些地区的经济。 ***

9319841 Tung The project is concerned with the design and construction of break-away walls in buildings located in flood prone coastal areas. The behavior and strength of connections joining the walls panels to buildings and the panels themselves will be studied through experiments. The results of these tests will be analyzed and a model will be developed for computing the response of the wall/building system to prescribe wind and water induced loads. A method for assessing the forces acting on the break- away walls, and the response and failure mode of the walls will also be developed. The knowledge generated by the study will increase the safety of coastal area's population and will benefit the economy of these areas. ***
