| Abstract | This award supports research to evaluate the effect of vertical accelerations on steel buildings during earthquakes using experiments and numerical models. Experimental studies on the impact of vertical accelerations on building response rarely have been conducted. Thus, numerical models cannot account for realistic data to predict the performance of building components. In this study, a near full-scale ten-story steel building will be instrumented to measure its vertical accelerations when test |
