Sensor verification using shake table testing @NHERI Lehigh

Small Group Workshop @NHERI Lehigh was a success from Jan. 5-7, 2022. Shake table testing was also conducted to verify our displacement vision-based measurements and accelerometers at varying frequencies using predefined motions and scaled earthquake records. Not pictured here but we also collected preliminary data from hybrid simulation tests to characterize fluid viscous dampers (FVDs), which exhibit nonlinear behavior.

Aloqaily awarded 2022 SEI Student Scholarship–congratulations!

Congratulations, Wael, on being selected to receive the SEI Student Scholarship to participate at Structures Congress April 20-23, 2022 in Atlanta! This is an outstanding award and wonderful opportunity to network with the structural engineering community! Wael will also present our conference paper  by W. Aloqaily, M. Head and N. Attoh-Okine titled, “Estimating Peak Floor Acceleration Using Artificial Neural Networks,” at the 2021 Lifelines Conference in Los Angeles, CA in February. Well done and wheels up!
