The Detailing Of The Coupling Beam Along Its Span And Within The Embedded Region Which Will Allow For Minimal Inelastic Coupling Beam Demands During Wind Events Will Be Evaluated. The Knowledge Gained Will Inherently Improve The Understanding The Analyses And Design Considerations For Reinforced Concreate Shear Walls Utilizing Both Bare Steel Link Beams Or Concrete-encased Steel Link Beams. 2020
Charles Pankow Foundation $10,000 Mclean, VA, US Research Grant Agreement 04-18 Relates To Advancing Performance-based Structural Fire Engineering Design In The Us Through Exemplar Procedural Guidance. The Goal Of The Project Is To Advance The Adoption Of Structural Fire Engineering With The Aec Industry To Benefit Public Safety While Delivering More Efficient And Economic Building Designs. To Achieve This Goal The Project Will Do The Following: - Demonstrate The Execution Of Proper Sfe Design In Accordance With Newly Releases Standards - Provide Exemplar Procedural Guidance For A Set Of Building With Regional Representation And - Explicitly Illustrate The Benefits Of This Integrated Approach To Fire Safety Through Trail Design. 2020
Charles Pankow Foundation $25,000 Mclean, VA, US Research Grant Agreement 06-19 Relates To The Use Of Steel Reinforced Concrete Coupling Beams Rather Than Diagonally-reinforced Coupling Beams. This Is An Innovative Approach That Offers A Better Way To Build Coupled Shear Walls As It Alleviates Reinforcement Congestion In The Wall To Simplify Construction. Additionally Designing Coupling Beams For A Controlled Level Of Nonlinearity Under Wind Demands Is Consistent With The Approach Used For Seismic Design And Results In A Design That Is More Economical. The Project Is Consistent With Other Research Efforts Focused On Nonlinearity In Wind Design. 2020
Building Transparency $25,000 Seattle, WA, US Research Grant Agreement A-103 Relates To Creating A Free Open Access North American Life Cycle Inventory Lci Database Of High Impact Building Materials. A Free And Open Access North American Lci Database Is A Missing Element In Being Able To Create A Reference Building's Embodied Carbon Footprint Early Within A Design Process. A Reference Building Benchmark Is What Design And Construction Innovations On A Project By Project Basis Can Be Compared Against. The Database Promotes Innovations Especially When Considering Lower Carbon Footprints Of Materials And Construction. 2020
