Implications of the Steel Phase Results of the US/Japan Large Scale Project

在美日大型试验计划下，第二阶段-钢结构-包括全尺寸、小尺寸、构件和组件试验以及线性和非线性分析模型的协调研究计划已接近完成。相关性研究目前正在进行中。该项目将评估这些结果，并确定它们对抗震设计利用的影响，以及在未来的实验/分析研究计划中提高效率的意义。两份报告，一份给设计者，另一份给研究人员，将总结这些对广泛实施的影响。该项目将完成由NSF和日本建设部实施的美日大规模测试计划。

Under the U.S.-Japan Large Scale Testing program, phase II - steel structures a coordinated research program involving full-scale, small scale, component and subassemblage tests and linear and nonlinear analytical modelling is nearly completed. Correlation studies are now underway. This project will evaluate these results and determine their implications for earthquake resistant design utilization and for improved efficiency in future experimental/analytical research programs. Two reports, one for the designers and the other for the researchers, will summarize these implications for broad implementation. This project will wrap up the U.S.-Japan Large Scale Testing program implemented by NSF and the Ministry of Construction of Japan.
