Year:Ìı2018-2019
Industry Partners:Â Prescient Co. Inc., J. R. Harris & Co.,
CIEST Personnel: Adan Salvador Camacho, Aldrich Valerian, Brice Lucero, Kent Polkinghorne, and company
Primary Investigator:Â Prof. Brad Wham
Summary: Project included development of a bi-directional loading system to apply simultaneous axial and lateral loading to 6 in. (15.2 cm) diameter columns and splice connections. Nearly 60 full-scale tests were conducted to support evaluation of a new structural building system for seismic applications. Accredited testing performed to ISO/IEC 17025 standard following protocols provided by FEMA 461.
