NEES Collaborative Research: Behavior of Spirally Reinforced Concrete Columns under Load Reversals

This project is part of a collaborative study of Soil-Foundation-Structure-Interaction (SFSI). To study the prototype structure, a series of four physical ...

NEES Data Flow Testbed

To support user requested developments, NEEScomm has developed a simplified testbed revolving around the typical "Data Flow" used by NEES researchers. The ...

Performance-Based Design and Real-time, Large-scale Testing to Enable Implementation of Advanced Damping Systems

Advanced structural damping systems such as magnetorheological dampers have great potential to play a large role in our ability to achieve performance-based ...

Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Walls with Lap Splices

Lap-splice failures in reinforced concrete walls and smoke stacks after recent earthquakes (e.g. Izmit, Turkey in 1999, Northridge, United States in 1994, ...

University Consortium for Instructional Shake Tables (UCIST)

Experiments are quite effective for demonstrating basic concepts in structural dynamics and earthquake engineering to students. Shake tables are typically used ...

US-China: Verification of Real-Time Hybrid Simulation Through Shake Table Comparison

Real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) provides researchers the opportunity to isolate and physically investigate only the more complex or critical components, ...
