SGER NEESR Payload Project to NEESR SG Award CMS-0530759: Leveraging Tsunami Research - Wave Loading on Residential Structures with Earthquake and Hurricane Applications

这项用于地震工程模拟研究（NEESR）有效载荷项目探索性研究（SGER）网络的小额赠款将利用美国国家科学基金会资助的项目（CMMI-0530759）的实验测试装置，该项目名为“NEESR SG：基于性能的海啸工程开发，PBTE”，于2007年6月至12月在俄勒冈州立大学的NEES海啸波盆地进行。该有效载荷项目的目标是安装住宅结构模型，其规模比SG研究人员在波盆另一侧测试的中高层结构更大，以调查波浪载荷和上升（应用于海啸工程）和压力/风力驱动的浪潮（应用于飓风工程和科学）造成的影响。有效载荷项目将在水线以上的平坦表面上安装两个单户住宅模型，代表沿海财产或稍微内陆的结构。该有效载荷项目将产生以下新知识：(1)关于住宅结构上不同波浪高度和地面坡度的流体冲击载荷的信息，以便编制无量纲图，供从业人员/规划人员使用，并促进沿海地区的创新建筑技术；(2)了解波浪和浪涌荷载作用下住宅结构的荷载传递机制和上拔力，这是目前尚不清楚的；(3)通过现有的方法、配方和最小装配试验，得到比例模型压力与全尺寸原型损伤的关系。知识价值：整个木结构模型从未在海啸波盆中进行过测试；因此，关于木结构结构在海啸荷载下的反应的新信息将会产生，并提供给地震工程和更广泛的科学界。更广泛的影响：实验结果将通过NEES Consortium， Inc. （http://www.nees.org）运营的NEES中央数据存储库提供给研究人员、从业者、设计师和公共政策官员，以促进创新产品和建筑技术。本项目不仅适用于地震工程，也适用于多种灾害（如飓风科学与工程）。

This Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation Research (NEESR) payload project will utilize the experimental test set-up of the NSF-funded project (CMMI-0530759) entitled "NEESR SG: Development of Performance Based Tsunami Engineering, PBTE" at the NEES tsunami wave basin at Oregon State University during June - December 2007. The objective of this payload project is to install residential structural models, at a larger-scale than the mid to high-rise structures tested by the SG researchers on the other side of the wave basin, to investigate impact due to wave loading and run-up (applications to tsunami engineering) and pressure/wind driven surge (applications to hurricane engineering and science). The payload project will install two single-family dwelling models beside each other on a flat surface above the waterline representing coastal property or a structure slightly inland. The following new knowledge will be generated by this payload project: (1) information on fluid impact loads as a function of different wave heights and ground slopes on residential structures to enable the development of dimensionless charts for use by practitioners/planners and to facilitate innovative construction techniques in coastal regions; (2) an understanding of the load transfer mechanism and uplift forces on residential structures during wave and surge loading, both of which are not understood currently; and (3) the relationship of scale model pressure to full-scale prototype damage through existing methods, formulations, and minimal assembly testing.Intellectual merit: Whole woodframe models have never been tested in a tsunami wave basin; thus new information about the response of woodframe structures subjected to tsunami loading will be generated and made available to the earthquake engineering and broader science community. Broader impacts: Experimental results will be made available to researchers, practitioners, designers, and public policy officials via the NEES central data repository operated by NEES Consortium, Inc. (http://www.nees.org) to facilitate innovative products and construction techniques. This project has applicability not only within earthquake engineering but also to multi-hazards (e.g., hurricane science and engineering).
