NSF Representation on Performance-Based Design Project Steering Committee

9724947作为与联邦应急管理局合作协议的一部分，EERI地震工程研究所开展了一个项目，以制定一项行动计划，其中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和必要的工具，让工程师向建筑物业主、建筑官员和其他设计专业人员传达性能概念。联邦应急管理局打算利用《行动计划》为新建和现有建筑启动一个基于绩效的设计方案。该项目将提供资金补充联邦应急管理局的资金，以支持从大学中挑选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。这是一个支持国家减少地震灾害计划(NEHRP)活动的机构间合作。***

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. ***
