A team of researchers from the Department of Fire Protection Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) will conduct groundbreaking tests on May 23-25 aimed at better understanding of the effects of earthquakes on building systems designed to suppress or prevent the spread of fires. The test are part of a major $ 5 million study, supported by a coalition of government agencies and industry partners, seeking to learn what needs to be done to ensure that high-value buildings, such as hospitals and data centers, can remain operational in the aftermath of earthquakes.
The study, which is being conducted on the nation’s largest outdoor shake table at the Englekirk Structural Engineering Center at the University of California, San Diego, has already subjected a full-scale, five-story building, equipped with a working elevator, sprinkler systems, an intensive care unit, a surgery suite, and computer servers, to series of simulated earthquakes, some registering as high as 7.9 on the Richter scale. During three weeks of seismic testing, engineers have monitored the buildings performance through more than 500 channels of data from a wide range of sensors.
