This proposal requests funds to upgrade the existing instrumentation and test equipment in the University of Washington (UW) structural and geotechnical engineering research laboratory. This upgrade will allow UW and other Pacific Northwest researchers to work at the forefront of structural and geotechnical engineering research. Specifically, it will provide three important capabilities that do not currently exist: (1) the ability to test large full-scale structural components, (2) the ability to perform pseudo-dynamic tests in which actual earthquake loading and response of full-scale structures and components is simulated, and (3) the ability to perform shaking table tests on soils, particularly liquefiable soils, and structures. These three capabilities are vital to the advancement of knowledge, the education of future structural and geotechnical engineers, and public safety.

该提案要求提供资金来升级华盛顿大学（UW）结构和岩土工程研究实验室的现有仪器和测试设备。 这次升级将使华盛顿大学和其他太平洋西北地区的研究人员能够在结构和岩土工程研究的最前沿工作。 具体而言，它将提供目前尚不存在的三种重要能力：（1）测试大型全尺寸结构部件的能力，（2）进行伪动态测试的能力，其中模拟全尺寸结构和部件的实际地震载荷和响应，以及（3）对土壤，特别是可液化土壤和结构进行振动台测试的能力。 这三种能力对于知识的进步，未来结构和岩土工程师的教育以及公共安全至关重要。
