9632626 Douglas The principal goals of this project is to remove barriers that inhibit research competitiveness in Bridge Engineering so that the University of Nevada, Reno may fully develop as a national research center. The project will conduct unique research in the area of seismic simulation studies on its shaking table facility which will become operational in fall 1996. When the facility opens, the university will have two 14-ft by 14-ft shaking tables with 50 tons of capacity each and the largest payload capacity in the United States. Non-federal support of the Bridge Engineering initiative from the user community has been obtained in the form of letters of commitment for matching support in the aggregate amount of $750,000 per year from NDOT and CALTRANS. The project's overall goal is to further expand this into a consortium of Western States interested in supporting seismic research.

9632626道格拉斯该项目的主要目标是消除障碍，以抑制桥梁工程中的研究竞争力，以便内华达大学里诺大学可以充分发展为国家研究中心。该项目将在其摇桌设施上进行地震模拟研究领域进行独特的研究，该研究将于1996年秋季投入运营。当该设施开放时，该大学将拥有两个14英尺乘14英尺的摇桌，每个人的容量为50吨，是美国最大的有效载荷。 用户社区对桥梁工程计划的非联邦支持是以承诺信的形式获得的，以匹配支持，每年从NDOT和Caltrans获得750,000美元的总金额。 该项目的总体目标是将其进一步扩展到有兴趣支持地震研究的西方国家的财团。
