List of Other issues Design anchoring specimens to the table Use steel or concrete for base beam? Resistance capacity of shake table Available instrumentation number of channels type and number of instruments Ground motion record what record to use how it would be scaled Construction of specimen how to assemble frame specimen Construction sequence (Testbed first and then specimen? or sequential installation of testbed 1, specimen, testbed 2)
Schedule and Logistics Schedule Spring 2008, UIUC test Summer 2008, finalization of E-Defense specimen design Autumn 2008, finalization of instrumentation plan Winter 2008, E-Defense specimen construction & instrumentation Spring 2009, E-Defense test Logistics Confirmation of student team members and establish contact. (Tokyo Tech: Hirotaka Ando? Kyoto Univ:? E- Defense: ?) When to send students to E-Defense
Industry Collaboration Industry partners from Japan to participate in design, detailing, and construction (Nippon Steel Corp? Other consultants or fabricators?) In-kind funding for materials (shapes, plate, connectors), fabrication (specimens and load frame components [trough, loading beams, etc.]) Fuse fabrication (same fabricator as specimen?) Supplier of PT cables and anchorages, and contractor for installation (E-Defense staff?) Capabilities for E-Defense staff in steel erection (e.g., bolting of fuses, resolution of fit-up issues) Other issues?
