NEESR-SG: Performance-Based Design of New Masonry Structures

摘要0619096克林纳这个奖项是美国国家科学基金会06-504计划征求“乔治E。小布朗地震工程模拟研究网络（NEESR）”竞赛。 该奖项包括来自德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校、北卡罗来纳州A T大学、加州大学圣地亚哥分校和华盛顿州立大学的参与者。 该研究有三个相互关联的目标：（1）发展必要的技术基础，以实施新一代基于性能的抗震设计的新砌体结构;（2）使用该发展作为加强规范开发人员和建筑界之间互动的工具（它通常在砖石建筑的创造中发挥主导作用）;（3）把这种发展作为一种教育-建立了一个外联机制，旨在提高区域和国家对减轻地震灾害的原则和益处的认识。 第一个目标将通过对砌体剪力墙和砌体饰面单元的性能进行协调的实验和分析研究来实现，并将在加州大学圣地亚哥分校的大型室外NEES振动台上进行全尺寸试验。 研究结果将用于对当前砌体设计规定提出具体更新，并支持下一代基于概率性能的抗震设计规定。 第二个目标将通过与上述活动同时开展的一系列与建筑界的外联和交流活动来实现。 第三个目标将通过与K-12和大学教育界的一系列外联和交流活动来实现，这些活动将与上述各项活动同时进行。 智力优势：该项目集成了现代砌体结构的建筑，设计和分析，并提供了急需的测试数据，以验证和改进建筑规范的要求。 更广泛的影响：拟议项目将提供机会，将地震工程的实验和分析研究与执业建筑师和工程师、研究生和本科生教育以及扩大代表性不足群体参与的外联活动结合起来。 研究结果将为采用新一代基于性能的设计建议的新型砌体结构抗震设计提供重要指导。

Abstract 0619096KlingnerThis award is an outcome of the NSF 06-504 program solicitation "George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation Research (NEESR)" competition. This award includes participants from The University of Texas at Austin, North Carolina A&T University, University of California at San Diego, and Washington State University. The proposed research has three linked objectives: (1) to develop the technical groundwork necessary to implement the next generation of performance-based earthquake design of new masonry structures; (2) to use that development as a vehicle for strengthening interactions between code developers and the architectural community (which often plays a leading role in creation of masonry buildings); and (3) to use that development as an educational-outreach mechanism aimed at increasing regional and national awareness of the principles and benefits of earthquake hazard mitigation. The first objective will be achieved by coordinated experimental and analytical studies of the behavior of masonry shear-wall and masonry veneer elements, and will culminate in the full-scale tests on the large outdoor NEES shake table at the University of California, San Diego. Results will be used to propose specific updates to current masonry design provisions and to support the next generation of probabilistic performance-based seismic design provisions. The second objective will be achieved by a series of outreach and communication activities with the architectural community, carried out in parallel with the above. The third objective will be achieved by a series of outreach and communication activities with the K-12 and college-level educational communities, carried out in parallel with each of the above. Intellectual Merit: This project integrates architecture, design, and analysis for modern masonry structures, and provides much-needed test data to validate and improve building code requirements. Broader Impacts: The proposed project will provide the opportunity to integrate experimental and analytical research in earthquake engineering with practicing architects and engineers, with graduate and undergraduate education, and with outreach activities to broaden the participation of under-represented groups. Research results will provide vital guidance for the seismic design of new masonry structures using the next generation of performance-based design recommendations.
