01/2012~12/2013 NEESR:
Near Collapse Performance of Existing Reinforced Concrete Frame
Buildings
Funded by: National Science
Foundation (NSF)
Awarded
amount: $539,995
Project
location: Western
Michigan University
Role:
Co-Principle Investigator
This research investigates,
characterizes, models, and
derives practical procedures for the consequences of column shear-axial
failure
on the collapse of existing vulnerable RC structures. The project will
develop
system-level acceptance criteria and analytical tools for near collapse
seismic
performance of existing non-ductile RC frame structures. Four sets of
three-dimensional, geographically distributed hybrid simulations (HS)
will be
conducted using the George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake
Engineering
Simulation (NEES) facility at the University of Illinois
at
Urbana-Champaign to obtain the response up to collapse of a
representative
three-dimensional structural system subjected to one-directional and
tri-axial
seismic ground motions.

Role:
Co-Principle Investigator
NEESsoft project is focused on 1)
enabling performance-based seismic retrofit of soft-story wood frame
buildings;
2) experimentally validating recently proposed concepts in force-based

of soft-story wood frame buildings, and 3) providing a fundamental
understanding
of collapse mechanisms in wood frame buildings through a systematic
experimental program consisting of three major test types at two NEES
equipment
sites.

of a Unified Control Platform for Real time Dynamic Hybrid Simulation
Funded

Operation
and Maintenance
Project
location: University at Buffalo
Role:
Research assistant
Real Time Dynamic Hybrid
Simulation (RTDHS) was first proposed for structural engineering to
evaluate
the seismic performance of structural systems/components by combining
the physical
test and numerical simulation. During a
hybrid simulation, the whole structure under investigation is divided
into two
parts. The part being physically constructed and tested is considered
as the
experimental substructure. The physical test can be conduced using
either shake
tables or dynamic actuators or both of them depending on the
researcher’s
interest. The rest part of the structure, named as the computational
substructure, is numerically modeled and simulated so the dynamic
effect on
experimental substructure at the interface is determined and applied by
physical loading systems. The RTDHS is a
force-based method and includes the currently used seismic testing
methods
within a unified formulation developed in this dissertation.
The
hardware components necessary
for RTDHS were integrated into a unified control platform, which
includes
Structural and Seismic Testing Controllers; Data Acquisition and
Information
Streaming and Real Time Hybrid Simulation Controllers. A framework to
drive the RTDHS
test was designed and implemented to
fulfill the function, such as structure response simulations, interface
force
calculations and compensations necessary to synchronize all components
as well
as their imperfect performance. The test
platform developed facilitates not only the local RTDHS test but
addresses
geographically distributed hybrid simulation as well. Its flexible
architecture
allows to make improvements without modifying the hardware
infrastructure.
While
a number of tests were
performed in medium scale, a small scale pilot setup including a one
story
shear model, an actuator and a one directional shake table were
constructed for
the proof-of-concept of the proposed unified control platform. A three
story
hybrid simulated structure was tested.
Test
results verify the concept of the proposed unified formulation in RTDHS
and the
feasibility of the corresponding operating platform.

of High Performance Concrete (HPC) in Reinforced Concrete Structures
Funded by: Shanghai
Science and Technology Development Foundation
Project
location: Tongji
University
Role:
Research assistant
As fiber joining into concrete,
the mechanical behavior of concrete will be changed. The calculating
formulas
of cracking load, ultimate load, and crack width given by general
concrete code
for common reinforced concrete beam are not hold properly.
This
project studied the bending test on high
strength high modulus polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber reinforced concrete
beam. Based on the
measured data and
cracking behavior, a crack width formula of PVA fiber reinforced
concrete beam
were proposed.
