NSF award 0529903, entitled "NEESR SG: NEESwood - Development of a Performance-Based Seismic Design Philosophy for Mid-Rise Woodframe Construction," is conducting its capstone seismic tests on a six-story wood frame building using Japan's E-Defense shake table in Miki, Japan, during June and July 2009. The E-Defense shake table is operated by Japan's National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention and is the world's largest shake table. The goal of the NEESwood project is to provide the knowledge needed to make construction of midrise wood frame structures in seismic regions more feasible. The NEESwood project's wood frame structure will be the largest structure tested to date at E-Defense. This apartment/condominium building has 1400 square meters of living space for 23 living units. Using the E-Defense shake table, this building will undergo its final test on July 14, 2009, using a 2500-year earthquake considered the MCE-level event in Los Angeles, CA, as the seismic excitation. Given the uniqueness of the E-Defense facility and this landmark capstone test, travel support will be provided for up to ten early career researchers to participate in these tests. Activities are planned for participants during July 12-15, 2009. The intellectual merit is that the supported researchers will learn about the NEESwood project and its goals, gain first hand experience with experimental testing at E-Defense, participate in the post-shake damage inspection, and meet Japanese researchers. The broader impact of their participation is the opportunity to explore NEES/E-Defense collaborations with Japanese researchers in earthquake engineering. The results of the capstone tests will be broadly disseminated world-wide through various media channels, including a webcast.

NSF 0529903奖项，题为“NEESR SG：NEESwood -基于性能的抗震设计理念的发展，为中高层木结构建筑”，正在进行其顶点地震测试的六层木结构建筑使用日本的电子防御振动台在三木，日本，在2009年6月和7月。 E-Defense振动台由日本国家地球科学和灾害预防研究所运营，是世界上最大的振动台。NEESwood项目的目标是提供所需的知识，使在地震区建造中层木框架结构更加可行。NEESwood项目的木框架结构将是迄今为止在E-Defense测试的最大结构。这座公寓/共管公寓楼有1400平方米的生活空间，可容纳23个居住单位。使用E-Defense振动台，这座建筑将于2009年7月14日进行最后的测试，使用2500年一遇的地震，被认为是加州洛杉矶的MCE级地震，作为地震激励。鉴于电子防御设施和这一具有里程碑意义的顶点测试的独特性，将为多达10名早期职业研究人员提供旅行支持，以参加这些测试。 计划于2009年7月12日至15日为与会者举办活动。 智力上的优点是，支持的研究人员将了解NEESwood项目及其目标，获得在E-Defense进行实验测试的第一手经验，参与震后损坏检查，并会见日本研究人员。他们参与的更广泛的影响是有机会探索NEES/E-Defense与日本研究人员在地震工程方面的合作。顶点测试的结果将通过包括网播在内的各种媒体渠道在全世界广泛传播。
