Testing of NEESR-CR: Post-Tensioned Coupled Shear Wall Systems at Lehigh University Friday, November 08, 2013

November 8, 2013  
Filed under Project Spotlight

This NEESR project entitled NEESR-CR: Post-Tensioned Coupled Shear Wall Systems (PIs: Yahya Kurama, University of Notre Dame, and Michael McGinnis, University of Texas at Tyler) is conducting large-scale experiments and accompanying numerical simulations of post-tensioned coupled shear wall structures at the Real-time Multi-directional (RTMD) Earthquake Simulation Facility, the Lehigh NEES Equipment Site. The goal of this NEESR project is to develop a new type of earthquake-resistant reinforced concrete (RC) coupled wall system with significant performance and economic benefits over conventional coupled wall systems.

TechGYRLS Tour ATLSS lab

May 28, 2013  
Filed under News and Events

The next generation of female engineers and architects put their skills to the test Friday. The Bethlehem TECHgyrls visited the lab at Lehigh University. They’re part of an after-school program that aims to get girls excited about science, math and technology. After the TECHgyrls toured the lab, they got to conduct their own experiment using marshmallows and gumdrops.
