Field Testing Capabilities of the NEES@UCLA Equipment Site for Soil-Structure Interaction Applications
The nees@UCLA field testing site has developed equipment for field testing and monitoring of structural and geotechnical performance. The equipment includes shakers for exciting structural and/or foundation systems, numerous sensors for monitoring accelerations and deformations within the excited structure (e.g., accelerometers, displacement transducers, strain gauges), and real time data acquisition and dissemination capabilities. One of the important applications of this equipment will be testing of soil-foundation-structure systems. Such testing could, for example, be used to evaluate the stiffness and damping associated with foundation-soil interaction. Existing test data for such phenomena is shown to be limited, hence there is a major need for this type of research. The results would enable the verification and calibration of computational and design models used in practice.
