| 2030 Inc Architecture 2030 Inc | A-105: Climate Positive Design for the Exterior Built Environment: Identify gaps areas for usage improvemet and integration with the existing Pathfinder tool and existing dataset. Update the tool with currently existing planning and landscape datasets as well as basic civil materials. Execute tool interface and output advancement capabilities. | $50,000 |
| West Virginia University Foundation | This project investigates a supplemental damping system for a floor system long-span truss or stadium raker among other options. The testing involves vibration analysis to confirm anticipated performance. | $30,000 |
| Charles Pankow Foundation | RGA 01-25: Behavior of Modular Steel Plate Floor Assemblies: This project investigates a new modular steel floor framing and diaphragm system for commercial building structures with broad applicability including high seismic zones. 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 | 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 |
