The NEESWood Project: Performance Based Seismic Design
for Mid-Rise Woodframe Construction
The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute and the
Network for Earthquake Engineering Consortium have
teamed together to offer an online webinar. Featuring easily
accessible earthquake engineering research, this one-and-a-half
hour session will focus on implications for structural
engineers, seismologists, and other engineers working to
mitigate earthquake risk.
John W. Van de Lindt, Colorado State University, and Kelly
Cobeen, Cobeen & Associates, will bring you up to date on
research exploring economical design and construction of
mid-rise woodframe buildings in seismic regions. You will
learn:
- What happened when a two-story townhouse, mounted on twin shake tables, was subjected to earthquake simulations
- How new earthquake engineering analysis software, developed as part of the NEESWood project, will influence earthquake damage evaluation
- What types of performance-based seismic designs are proving effective for woodframe buildings
- Next steps for NEESWood research, including sixstory building shake table tests
These topics will be presented from a researcher's
perspective by van de Lindt, and then Cobeen will address
how each topic and the project as a whole may influence
earthquake engineering practice.
