Equipment Request for the UCSD Structural Systems Laboratory

这项研究将为新的加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）结构系统实验室提供设备。该设施将提供独特的能力，因为它是为使用50英尺高的巨大反作用力强墙对高达五层楼的建筑物进行全面实验测试而设计的。该设备将包括液压执行器、控制系统、数据收集系统和支持系统。这个实验室将有四个主要功能。首先，它将作为UCSD结构工程项目的中心。其次，它将作为一个区域实验室，并补充其他结构和地震工程实验室。第三，它将支持国际研究项目，如美日砌体研究协调地震项目。第四，它将鼓励学术研究人员、实践工程师和建筑行业之间的互动。

This research will provide equipment for outfitting the new University of California-San Diego (UCSD) Structural Systems Laboratory. This facility will provide unique capabilities in that it is designed for full-scale experimental testing of buildings up to five stories by using a massive 50 foot high reaction strong wall. The equipment will include hydraulic actuators, control systems, data collection systems, and support systems. This laboratory will have four main functions. First, it will serve as the focal point for the Structural Engineering Program at UCSD. Second, it will serve as a regional laboratory and complement other structural and earthquake engineering laboratories. Third, it will support international research programs such as the US-Japan Coordinated Earthquake Program in Masonry Research. Fourth, it will encourage interaction between academic researchers, practicing engineers, and the construction industry.
