The purpose of this project is to conduct a time-history structural analysis of the structural elements of the UAA Engineering and Industry Building using the strong-motion record from 30 November 2019.\u00a0 This analysis includes comparing the performance with the code-based design, identifying locations of yielding and predicting performance and areas of concern for a larger event.\u00a0 Using the lessons learned in the from the EIB analysis, a preliminary design for the EIB Phase 2 structure will be completed.\u00a0 This is a proposed 2 story structure adjacent to the current EIB structure that incorporates a bridge to the UAA Bookstore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/coeng.uaa.alaska.edu\/uploads\/DR Uploads\/2019-ProjectDocs\/Posters\/201908-EIB%20Seismic%20Analysis%20Poster.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View Project<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">View Presentation<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/coeng.uaa.alaska.edu\/uploads\/DR Uploads\/2019-ProjectDocs\/Reports%20and%20Plans\/CE.2019.08-EIB%20Siesmic%20Design%20and%20Analysis_FinalReport.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View Report<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Student Members: Charles Pappas, Justin Lobdell, Evan Sharp Faculty Advisors: Dr. Scott Hamel Project Mentor: Courtney Willoughby, PE, SE Description: The Engineering and Industry Building (EIB) at UAA is a 4 story moment frame structure that was completed in 2016.\u00a0 The building is instrumented with 18 strong-motion sensors (accelerometers) that measure the building\u2019s movement during [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2008,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[192],"discipline":[297],"academic-year":[313,316],"class_list":["post-2624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-capstone-project","tag-civil-engineering","discipline-civil-engineering","academic_year-313","academic_year-academic_year"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/coeng.uaa.alaska.edu\/innovation\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/coeng.uaa.alaska.edu\/innovation\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/coeng.uaa.alaska.edu\/innovation\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coeng.uaa.alaska.edu\/innovation\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coeng.uaa.alaska.edu\/innovation\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2624"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/coeng.uaa.alaska.edu\/innovation\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2624\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2791,"href":"https:\/\/coeng.uaa.alaska.edu\/innovation\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2624\/revisions\/2791"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coeng.uaa.alaska.edu\/innovation\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2008"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/coeng.uaa.alaska.edu\/innovation\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coeng.uaa.alaska.edu\/innovation\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coeng.uaa.alaska.edu\/innovation\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2624"},{"taxonomy":"discipline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coeng.uaa.alaska.edu\/innovation\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fdiscipline&post=2624"},{"taxonomy":"academic_year","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coeng.uaa.alaska.edu\/innovation\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Facademic-year&post=2624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
