Full-scale connection analyses

Full-scale connection tests

 

 

 

For more information, here are some recent presentations:

  1. Seminar at UC Berkeley (April 2005)
  2. NEES Grantees Meeting, San Diego (January 2005)
  3. NEES Grand Opening Poster, Davis (November 2005)
  4. 8NCEE Conference, San Francisco (April 2006)
  5. Rutherford and Chekene Presentation, San Francisco (April 2006)
  6. NEES Annual Meeting Poster, Washington, DC (June 2006)

 

Phase II will investigate fracture in weld metals and Heat Affected Zones (HAZs) of typical connection details found in typical structures located in high activity seismic zones. We are currently planning this phase and plan to begin testing in August 2006.
