| 2023 | Magnusson Klemencic Associates Foundation | RGA 06-22 Assembly Live Load Consistency For Buildings - Gateway to Reducing Embedded Energy: Dating back to the 1800's there have been live load surveys and analyses particularly of area-dependent loads in office buildings. As will be shown however while some occupancy loads have received careful examination assembly has almost been an afterthought. Indeed there has been no systematic review and consideration of reliability-based scenarios for assembly requirements. The driving rationale for the present study is a modem determination of these loads. Prioritization on safety which is appropriate has led to a tendency of overdesign in some cases of which assembly floor loading is one. Without a reliability- and performance-based approach these loads have continued essentially unchanged since their first pre-code promotion in 1893. This research is an innovative modern approach to reliability-based design live loads for assembly areas in buildings to promote improved safety. | $50,000 |

| 2023 | Magnusson Klemencic Associates Foundation | RGA 06-16 Seismic and Wind Behavior and Design of Coupled CF-CPSW Core Walls for Steel Buildings: A new composite shear wall system is being explored in this ground-breaking research at Purdue University and the University at Buffalo. The innovative shear wall system employs two steel plates connected by steel cross ties that are then filled with high strength concrete. The shear wall system is free of traditional rebar reinforcing. The Bowen Lab at Purdue University is testing six one-third-scale planar specimens of the composite steel plate shear wall systems as part of Phase 1 of the research program. Phase 2 includes testing of non-planar wall segments C- and T-shaped modules with Phase 3 testing composite shear wall systems with coupling beams. The focus of this project is twofold: to generate data-based numeric models that can be used to develop wind and seismic provision and to gain insight into the performance of various detailing layouts. | $15,000 |

| 2021 | Magnusson Klemencic Associates Foundation | Research Grant Agreement #05-19 focuses on coupled core wall systems that utilize structural rolled and or built-up steel coupling beams used in low-seismic and wind applications. The detailing of the coupling beam along its span and within the embedded region which will allow for minimal inelastic coupling beam demands during wind events will be evaluated. The knowledge gained will inherently improve the understanding the analyses and design considerations for reinforced concreate shear walls utilizing both bare steel link beams or concrete-encased steel link beams. | $25,000 |
| 2021 | Magnusson Klemencic Associates Foundation | Research Grant Agreement 06-19 relates to the use of steel reinforced concrete coupling beams rather than diagonally-reinforced coupling beams. This is an innovative approach that offers a better way to build coupled shear walls as it alleviates reinforcement congestion in the wall to simplify construction. Additionally designing coupling beams for a controlled level of nonlinearity under wind demands is consistent with the approach used for seismic design and results in a design that is more economical. The project is consistent with other research efforts focused on nonlinearity in wind design. | $25,000 |

The goal of the project is to advance the adoption of structural fire engineering with the AEC industry to benefit public safety while delivering more efficient and economic building designs. To achieve this goal the project will do the following: - Demonstrate the execution of proper SFE design in accordance with newly releases standards - Provide exemplar procedural guidance for a set of building with regional representation and - Explicitly illustrate the benefits of this integrated approach to fire safety through trail design. | $10,000 |
