15. APPENDIX

Large-Scale Structural Systems Laboratory Development

Dr. Kurama’s research focuses on the seismic behavior and design of concrete and hybrid/composite structures. The Large-Scale Structural Systems Laboratory at Notre Dame (also known as the “High-Bay”), housed in 101 Cushing Hall, is a major component of this research.

The main contributions of Dr. Kurama to the development and improvement of the large-scale testing capabilities in the laboratory are described below. The funds necessary for these activities were made available from Dr. Kurama’s capitalization funds, two NSF grants (NSF/CMS 98-74872 and NSF/CMS 98-10067), and donations and grants by regional and national companies and organizations. Dr. Kurama has been serving as the departmental supervisor for the laboratory since 2001.1.Design and construction of two loading frames for the large-scale testing of structural

frame and wall members and subassemblages: Figs. 1 and 2 show two recent tests in the laboratory using these loading frames. The frame in Fig. 1 can be used for a variety of tests involving the application of vertical loads on the structure. The frame in Fig. 2 can be used to apply loads in the lateral direction.

2.Development of a state-of-the-art high-speed data acquisition system: The data acquisition system that was developed allows near simultaneous recording of over hundred channels of data from various types of displacement/deformation transducers (e.g., LVDT, strain gage) and force transducers used in each test.

3.Development of capabilities for the testing of prestressed concrete structures: The behavior and design of prestressed concrete structures is one of the primary research and teaching focus areas of Dr. Kurama. The testing of these structures requires special hardware and know-how, such as the application, monitoring, and removal of the prestress force. These capabilities have been developed and successfully implemented in the test structures shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

4.Development of the necessary software and hardware for the simultaneous use of multiple servo-controlled hydraulic actuators during a test: The test set-up in Fig. 1 uses two 220 kip, ±10 inch (stroke) actuators simultaneously. The actuators can be operated as a pair under load control or displacement control. The set-up allows all aspects of data acquisition and actuator control to be orchestrated in a single test control program.

5.Development of the necessary software and hardware for the dynamic testing of large-scale passive seismic damper assemblies: The loading and control system can deliver a force of ±55 kips with displacement amplitudes ranging between ±0.75 inch and ±2.5 inch at frequencies ranging between 3 Hz and 1 Hz, respectively. At a maximum force of ±220 kips, the system can achieve displacements of ±0.2 inch to ±0.5 inch at frequencies of 3 Hz to 1 Hz, respectively.
