January Joint Dinner Meeting with EERI
10 Years of Research Achievement of the NEES-UC San Diego Shaking Table
In this presentation, Prof. Jose Restrepo will highlight the 10 years of research achievement of the NEES-UC San Diego Shaking Table. Numerous landmark research projects have been carried out on the shaking table, resulting in discovering of new knowledge and advancement of design codes. In particular, Prof. Restrepo will highlight the research project on thin structural walls, and will contrast its main findings with observations made in the M8.8 Chile earthquake. He will also show the research project on precast concrete diaphragms and will briefly discuss the main changes to ASCE 7 that this research work brought up. Furhtermore, Prof. Restrepo will highlight the main findings of the research project on a fully equipped 5-story building, which was tested with base-isolation and then and then in a fixed-based condition. Prof. Restrepo will end its presentation with a brief discussion of a building project whose design aims at reducing floor inertia forces. This building is being currently tested on the NEES-UC San Diego shake table.
Jose. Restrepo is a Professor in Structural Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. Professor Restrepo research interests are in earthquake engineering and structural dynamics, with emphasis in structural design and experimental methods. Professor Restrepo was lead structural engineer for the NEES UC San Diego Large High-Performance Outdoor Shake Table, the largest in the United States and second largest worldwide. There he has leader or collaborator for a number of landmark experiments performed on this shake table. Prof. Restrepo’s research has been recognized with the ACI Chester Paul Siess Award, the PCI Charles C. Zollman and Martin Korn Awards, the FHWA James Cooper Award and the ASCE Alfred Noble Award.
