A-101.3 This research project looks to advance Methods for the Efficient Estimation of the Reliability of Post-Elastic High-Rise Wind-Excited Structures within a Performance-Based Design PBD for high-rise buildings. Professor Seymour Spence is the principal investigator and is quoted as follows: Current high-rise structural wind design is hampered by difficulties in efficiently modeling the post-elastic non-linear structural behavior of the system therefore leading to challenges in estimating the reliability of these systems against severe windstorms. This research seeks to define a new paradigm for solving this problem through the development of probabilistic dynamic shakedown frameworks for the inelastic analysis of wind-excited structures. These methods have the potential to provide tools that enable the rapid evaluation as compared to time-history integration of the post-elastic reliability of a wide class of high-rise structures."

RGA #04-23 Steel Mass Timber Hybrid Diaphragms and Vibration: aims to investigate the diaphragm and vibration behavior of steel-cross laminated timber CLT floors. This research will catalyze innovation within the building construction field by enabling efficient and effective designs of steel-CLT floors. Steel-CLT buildings are currently being constructed throughout the US. However the existing design guides for diaphragm and vibration design have not been developed through experimental data. Therefore the design of steel-CLT buildings may be overly conservative.

RGA 02-21 This research seeks to develop and experimentally validate bolded splice details for composite plate shear walls-concrete filled CPSW-CF to enable nationwide application of this structural system. The use of CPSW-CF structures leverage steel pre-fabrication in the shop and stay-in-place formwork to reduce the time spent on site and accelerates the construction schedule. Professor Bruneau from the University of Buffalo serves as the principal investigator.

A-104 The carbon results framework project: the goal of the ec3 tool project is to transform building construction by transparently measuring comparing and reducing embodied carbon emission from construction materials. each year the built environment contributes almost 40% of co2 emission worldwide and it is estimated that there will be a doubling of the amount of building floorspace in the next 40 years. at least half of the carbon footprint of these new building will take the form of embodied carbon in the emissions associated with the building construction including extracting transporting manufacturing and installing building materials. as a result owners designers engineers and contactors are turning their attention to building material seeking information on these products so they can make informed smart choices. the ec3 tool would enable the building industry to easily access and view material carbon emissions data.

rga 01-22 Behavior of modular steel plate floor assemblies: this project investigates a new modular steel floor framing and diaphragm system for commercial building structures with broad applicability including high seismic zones. The proposed system has key benefits of increasing the speed of construction including eliminating the pouring of a concrete deck. This type of system is key to achieving the goals of the aisc for initiative to reduce the time from conception to occupancy for steel building structures.
