NSF Representation on Performance-Based Design Project Steering Committee

9724947 Tubbesing作为与FEMA合作协议的一部分，地震工程研究所EERI已经开展了一个项目，以制定一项行动计划，该计划将列出必须采取的必要步骤，以制定基于性能的工程设计标准，以及工程师向建筑业主，建筑官员和其他设计专业人士传达性能概念所需的工具。 FEMA打算利用该行动计划为新建和现有建筑启动基于性能的设计方案。 该项目将提供资金，以补充联邦紧急事务管理局的资金，支持从大学中选出的另一名指导委员会成员参加项目指导委员会的所有活动，以确保将其纳入最终的行动计划。 这是一个机构间合作，以支持国家减少地震灾害计划（NEHRP）的活动。 ***

9724947 Tubbesing As part of a Cooperative Agreement with FEMA, Earthquake Engineering Research Institute EERI has undertaken a project to produce an Action Plan that will lay out the necessary steps that must be taken to develop performance-based engineering design criteria and the tools necessary for engineers to communicate performance concepts to building owners, building officials, and other design professionals. FEMA intends to use the Action Plan to initiate a Performance-Based Design Program for new and existing construction. This project will provide funds to complement FEMA funding to support the participation of an additional steering committee member selected from universities who would represent the engineering research perspective in all activities of the Project Steering Committee, in order to ensure its inclusion in the resulting Action Plan. This is an interagency collaboration in support of the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program (NEHRP) activities. ***
