title: In person damage assessment and 360° photo collection and analysis
title: in GEER - August 4, 2020 Beirut Port Explosion

description: This project contains GEER post-disaster reconnaissance data collected following the August 4, 2020 Beirut Port explosion. The dataset contains the following pieces of information: (1) locations of 360° photos taken in October 2020 using a GoPro Fusion camera mounted to the roof of a car, (2) detailed structural damage assessment information for 172 buildings based on in-person inspection performed within a month from the explosion and exterior structural damage assessment information for 10 buildings based on 360° photos taken in October 2020, and (3) façade damage assessment data based on facade damage observed using the 360° photos taken in October 2020. This dataset can be used as a validation tool for fluid dynamics simulation studies and/or to calibrate/validate near real-time remote sensing damage maps. Due to the presence of potentially sensitive/personal information, direct access to 360° photos is not provided in this publication. All photos collected and analyzed in this project are available online in two separate repositories with blurred faces and plates for privacy protection (more details and links are available in the mission-related information). The photos are available in the Mapillary and Beirutrecovery websites (see URLs in the Referenced Data section). For the latter, photos can be visualized after selecting user: aubmsfea in the main menu.
description: This mission was performed between August 7 and October 15, 2020. 

The Maroun Semaan Faculty of Engineering and Architecture (MSFEA) at the American University of Beirut set up an emergency hotline and engineering dispatch center for Beirut residents and businesses concerned about the structural safety of their buildings following the Beirut Port explosion. Teams of engineers led by faculty members from MSFEA were on call for four weeks, between August 7 and September 4 and performed in-person visual damage assessments. Using the data gathered by these teams, we assigned building damage levels based on a classification system specifically developed to analyze damage caused by blast explosions.

On October 8 and 15, 2020, street-view type high-resolution photograph surveys were performed using a GoPro Fusion camera mounted to the roof of a car. The purpose of these surveys was to document the damaging effects of the blast for a large number of structures, albeit with much less information per structure than the in-person inspections provide.

title: Wall Boundary Element Test #12
title: in NEESR: Seismic Performance of Conventional and Innovative Special Structural Walls

description: Uniaxial test of a reinforced concrete wall boundary element #12
description: The project explored design and performance limits for structural walls, considering both conventional wall construction practices and innovative construction practices. A principal finding of recent earthquakes (in 2010 and 2011) and laboratory tests from 200 to 2010 is that wall performance is limited by stability and ductility capacity of the flexural compression zone. Given this critical issue, a series of studies on conventional walls and boundary elements constructed with innovative materials (HPFRCC) to establish performance limits for flexural compression failures in reinforced concrete structural walls. Tests were designed to acquire knowledge, improve construction practices, and advance simulation tools. The primary research outcomes include: 

(1)	Completing  tests of eight ordinary boundary element (OBE) prisms at UCLA. The test specimens were detailed according to ACI 318-11 21.9.6.5 with the goal of assessing failure modes and strain capacities as influenced by concrete cover, configuration of transverse reinforcement, and spacing of transverse reinforcement. Based on the tests, a relationship used to assess buckling of longitudinal reinforcement was extended to wall boundaries with typical OBE detailing. 
(2)	Completing tests on 13 special boundary element (SBE) prisms at UC Berkeley. The tests investigated the role of boundary element detailing and wall thickness. The tests indicated that the strain capacity of relatively (< 12 inches) walls with ACI 318 code compliant SBE detailing was less than one percent and that improved detailing or high-performance, fiber-reinforced concrete did not improve the strain capacity significantly. 
(3)	Conducted tests on seven, approximately one-half scale wall panels represented the base of roughly 8 to 10 story walls in a moderately tall building.  The primary test variables were the configuration and quantity of boundary transverse reinforcement, the depth of the neutral axis, and the wall thickness. The test provided essential data to develop a new, displacement-based model for predicting the drift capacity of structural walls with SBE. 
(4)	Developing code change proposals that were approved for ACI 318-14 and additional code change proposals that have been approved for inclusion in ACI 318-19. 
(5)	Creating and documenting a detailed dataset that was uploaded to DesignSafe-ci Data Depot that can be used for future reserarch.

title: Wind Tunnel Pressure Measurements on a 1:20 TTU-WERFL Building Model Tested under Actively Generated Large-Scale Turbulent Flows
title: in Physical Simulation of Terrain-Induced and Large-Scale Turbulence Effects on the Effectiveness of Wind Mitigation Strategies for Low-Rise Buildings

description: Wind-induced damage to roof components of buildings is mainly initiated by extreme suction pressures caused by vortices that develop when the oncoming wind flow impinges on the structure, resulting in flow detachment near roof corners and edges. Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of several roof load mitigation strategies for alleviating uplift roof pressures under a limited set of idealized turbulent flow conditions. This project leveraged a flow-control instrument, Flow Field Modulator (FFM), at the University of Florida Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) Experimental Facility to actively generate a wider range of turbulent flow conditions in a large boundary layer wind tunnel (BLWT). The FFM is a 2D multi-fan array comprising 319 modular hexagonal aluminum cells with shrouded three-blade co-rotating propellers. The system enabled the active generation of large-scale turbulent structures by recreating user-specified velocity time signals to inject slowly varying fluctuations into wind tunnel flows. The project aimed to overcome ongoing limitations in traditional wind tunnel modeling approaches by enabling active and precise control of large wind gust structures to evaluate their impact on civil infrastructure.
description: This dataset comprises surface pressure and 3D flow velocity data collected in a large boundary layer wind tunnel (BLWT) at the University of Florida (UF) Natural Hazard Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) Experimental Facility (EF). Wind pressures were monitored on the surface of a 1:20 scale model of the Texas Tech University (TTU) Wind Engineering Research Field Laboratory (WERFL) experimental building. The TTU building model was immersed in a wide range of turbulent boundary layer flows with prescribed turbulence intensity and integral length scales. Control of large-scale turbulent scales was enabled by an active multi-fan flow control instrument system termed Flow Field Modulator (FFM). The FFM system enabled the injection of slowly varying (low frequency) turbulent gust structures to achieve significantly greater integral length scales than traditional BLWT approaches. The dataset complies with DesignSafe-CI's best practices for collection and data level curation. Additional documentation and data processing procedures applied to the data are available in the report.

title: Quasi-static cyclic tests on pre- and post-retrofit slender RC walls
title: in Test Data on Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls Retrofitted through Weakening and Self-Centering

description: This project investigated a new seismic retrofit method which focuses on not only safety but also on resiliency by minimizing residual displacements (a measure of damage). The target application was buildings with sub-standard reinforced concrete shear walls. The retrofit involves creating a wall base cut for intentional weakening and adding external post-tensioning for self-centering, in addition to external confinement of wall toes to minimize spalling damage. 
A series of quasi-static cyclic tests that loaded pre- and post-retrofit reinforced concrete shear walls under lateral loading was performed. This dataset summarizes the results of three shear wall tests: one pre-retrofit reinforced concrete shear wall that was not compliant with ACI 318-19 in terms of confinement and transverse reinforcement details, and two retrofitted walls. The differences between the two retrofitted walls were in the shape of the wall base cut (the weakening step), the size of external confinement, and the amount of external post-tensioning (the self-centering step). The dataset includes the details of the three specimens, locations and types of sensors (strain gages, load and displacement sensors), images and recordings of specimens under loading, and raw and processed data such as the load-displacement relation. In addition, the walls were subjected to impact hammer testing to determine dynamic properties before and after testing. Raw and processed accelerometer data are also presented.

title: Circular Column Database

description: This database is provided by extending the one presented by Ghannoum et al. (2015) entitled “NEES: ACI 369 Circular Column Database”, which can be found on https://datacenterhub.org/resources/254. In this extended version, two new terms including the yield drift ratio and the displacement ductility demand are added to the original database through available technical reports, articles, and dissertations in the literature, since the latter parameter plays a key role in estimating the shear strength of reinforced concrete columns. This database provides wide range of information about 172 tested circular columns including geometry details of columns’ sections, mechanical properties of concrete and reinforcing steel, configuration of transverse and longitudinal reinforcements, loading patterns, and the measured results that can be employed by researchers to conduct numerical studies in the context of structural/earthquake engineering.

title: WSN and Lidar Deployment during Hurricane Isaias, Satellite Beach, Melbourne, FL, Aug 2020
title: in Hurricane ISAIAS Data from Wireless Pressure Sensor Network and LIDAR

description: FIT WSNS (Florida Tech’s Wireless Sensor Network System) and FIT Lidar measured and recorded pressure, temperature and wind data during the passage of tropical storm Isaias on 2 August 2020. The FIT WSNS consists of pressure and temperature sensors, and R.M.Young anemometers; deployed on a residential house roof in Satellite Beach, Florida (GPS LOC: 28°10'33.5"N 80°35'41.8"W). Data from WSNS was collected from 2020/8/2 to 2020/8/4. FIT Lidar, a conically scanning ZephIR Z300 LIDAR had an open fetch with respect to the onshore flow (GPS LOC: 28.177°N, -80.590 °W) and 0.36km apart from WSNS deployment. Its wind data was sampled at 20-sec intervals at 10 vertical range gates (11m to 150m, above ground level). Data from Lidar was collected on 2020/8/2 for 11 hours. The different anemometry used in the WSNS and Lidar deployments during Isaias is useful to study wind changes as it moves inland to a residential area. 

FIT WSNS deployment had 2 systems – old WSNS and new WSNS. The new system has an improved data collection software, compact aerodynamic casing and does not need routers, when compared to the old system. The new WSNS consisted of 2 pressure sensors with sampling rate(SR) = 10Hz, 1 reference pressure with SR = 10Hz and 1 anemometer with SR = 1Hz. The old WSNS consisted of 16 pressure sensors with sampling rate = 10Hz and 1 anemometer sampled at 6-sec intervals.

The goal of Isaias Deployment is to 1) Measure actual near-surface wind profiles for different wind speeds and directions; 2) Compare and validate the new WSNS against the old one; 3) Analyze wind pressures on the residential house roof and wind data from different anemometry, with Jupyter notebooks; 4) Use field data to validate and improve current wind loads recommendations and models for pressure distributions on building components, wind profiles and terrain roughness characterization.
description: FIT WSNS measured the pressure variation on a residential house roof in Satellite Beach and collected wind data from two anemometers at the site. FIT Lidar measured wind data at 10 vertical range gates (10m to 150m) on the beach edge of Satellite Beach.  The pressure data was used to study the effect of wind speed and wind direction on different locations of the house roof during the Isaias storm. The wind data from the WSNS anemometers measured wind speed and wind direction which was used to determine roughness around the site, at different heights. The wind data from WSNS and Lidar were compared to study the wind changes as the storm moved inland.

title: Actionable insights for human factors and ergonomics to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals: mapping past advancements and proposing future strategic paths

description: Despite significant strides in linking Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE) and sustainability, research lacks precision in debating HFE’s role, especially concerning the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper maps concrete contributions of HFE to the SDGs, offering strategic actions for target achievement. The methodological approach involved the application of PRISMA to define a sample, SciMAT and VOSviewer for visual and temporal thematic mapping, deductive content analysis and categorical analysis. The results show that there is an already rich and unique set of contributions across a wide range of SDGs, not just the most common related to HFE, SDG8 (Decent work). The importance of HFE is highlighted in various aspects, such as the sustainable adoption of industry 4.0 technologies (SDG9) and the development of sustainable production (SDG12), energy (SDG7) and urban (SDG11) systems. Strategic actions specifying targets for each mapped SDG are offered for policymakers, industry professionals and researchers. This paper maps concrete contributions of HFE to the SDGs, including aspects such as sustainable adoption of industry 4.0 technologies and the development of sustainable production, energy and urban systems. Policymakers, industry professionals and researchers can benefit from the strategic pathways offered to further advance the SDGs.
