2. Background & Objective Performance criteria resource document for innovative construction, Report NBSIR 77-1316 National Institute of Standards and Technology, Washington, DC. PBD for woodframe construction has roots in HUD’s “Operation Breakthrough” Woodframe PBD is in a position to fuel product innovation – the original intent of 1970’s work 17 industry sponsors… 7 member practitioner advisory com. The objective of the NEESWood project is the development of a new logical performance-based seismic design philosophy for mid-rise woodframe construction, thus enabling such construction to be an economic option in seismic regions in the U.S. and around the world

3. Project Components • Full-scale 3-D testing – years 1 and 4 • UB - Benchmark • E-Defense - Capstone • Numerical model development/refinement - ongoing • PBSD development – years 2 and 3 • Inclusion of response modification devices • Testing and analysis • Societal risk/decision making/impact • Outreach and education • REU’s – 2 NEESInc & 2 • CC (ECC) • International collaboration – E-Defense

4. Pre-fabricated walls with dampers Benchmark Tests University at Buffalo Assembly Level Tests RPI CSU Capstone Tests Miki City, JAPAN Testing

5. Benchmark Tests • Evaluate seismic response of full-scale woodframe building • Evaluate effects of interior and exterior wall finish materials – incorporate in design ? • Evaluate effects of passive seismic protection systems • Generate landmark experimental data to be used by project participants and broader earthquake engineering community • 2-story townhouse building with an integrated two-car garage • “Production house” in either the 80’s or 90’s, located in either Northern or Southern California • Engineered construction designed according to UBC-1988

6. Erie Community College • During the test phases requiring drywall installation • 30 students from Erie Community College (Construction Management Engineering Technology, Civil Engineering Technology, and Building Management/Building Trades Programs) • Responsibilities will include: • Installation of GWB (drywall) on the interior of the structure for two test phases • Shifts are 4.5 hrs with a 30 minute overlap for continuity – 12 hour work day • Prepare project schedule using Microsoft Project including procurement of materials and supplies based on a given budget • On-site training and safety sessions • Students include male and female students from U.S. and international backgrounds. Minority groups, non-traditional students, traditional students. • Thanks to Tom Albrechcinski Andrei Reinhorn at UB • Gregory Gillis and Shawn Hall at ECC
