The proposed system has key benefits of increasing the speed of construction including eliminating the pouring of a concrete deck. This type of system is key to achieving the goals of the AISC Need for Speed initiative to reduce the time from conception to occupancy for steel building structures. | $25,000 |
| Charles Pankow Foundation McLean, VA | RGA #04-23 Steel Mass Timber Hybrid Diaphragms and Vibration: aims to investigate the diaphragm and vibration behavior of steel-cross laminated timber CLT floors. This research will catalyze innovation within the building construction field by enabling efficient and effective designs of steel-CLT floors. Steel-CLT buildings are currently being constructed throughout the US. However the existing design guides for diaphragm and vibration design have not been developed through experimental data. Therefore the design of steel-CLT buildings may be overly conservative. | $22,500 |
