One of the primary goals of the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is prevention or mitigation of this country's losses from hazards that affect the built environment. To achieve this goal, we as a nation must determine what level of performance is expected from our buildings during a severe event, such as an earthquake. To do this, several years ago FEMA contracted with the Applied Technology Council (ATC) to develop next-generation performance-based seismic design guidelines, which would allow stakeholders and their representatives to assess the probable seismic performance of new and existing buildings, and to be able to design or improve their structures to meet their performance goals. These guidelines could be voluntarily used by engineers and designers to: (1) assess and improve the performance of buildings that are currently designed to a building code “life safety” level, which would, in all likelihood, still suffer significant structural and nonstructural damage in a severe event; and (2) more effectively meet the performance targets of current building codes by providing verifiable alternatives to current prescriptive code requirements. This program is based on a long-term plan published as FEMA 445, which was developed with the input of the nation's leading seismic professionals. One of the key requirements in performance based seismic design is the ability to test and evaluate the intended performance of the various structural and nonstructural components that make up a building. The Applied Technology Council (ATC), with funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of Homeland Security, commenced work on a multi-year project to development performance-based seismic design guidelines for eventual incorporation in existing standards for the seismic design of new buildings and the upgrade of existing buildings (ATC-58 project). The plan for development of the guidelines is defined in the companion FEMA 445 report, Next-Generation Performance-Based Seismic Design Guidelines, Program Plan for New and Existing Buildings, which was prepared under the ATC-58 project and published by FEMA in 2006. As part of the initial work on the ATC-58 project, interim recommended protocols (documented herein) were developed for testing of structural and nonstructural components and systems found in buildings, for the purpose of establishing their seismic performance characteristics. The protocols were developed through a cooperative effort of ATC and the three National Science Foundation-funded Earthquake Engineering Research Centers (EERCs): the Mid-America Earthquake (MAE) Center at the University of Illinois, Urbana; the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER), University at Buffalo, The State University of New York; and the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center at the University of California, Berkeley. Two interim protocol types are provided in this document: Interim Protocol I – Quasi-Static Cyclic Testing, which should be used for the determination of performance characteristics of components whose behavior is primarily controlled by the application of seismic forces or seismic-induced displacements (e.g., cladding panels, glazing panels, drywall partitions, piping and ducting system connections, ducts, and various types of anchors and braces); and Interim Protocol II – Shake Table Testing, which should be used to assess performance characteristics of components whose behavior is affected by the dynamic response of the component itself, or whose behavior is velocity sensitive, or sensitive to strain-rate effects (e.g., mechanical and electrical equipment).

This report describes a recommended methodology for reliably quantifying building system performance and response parameters for use in seismic design. The recommended methodology (referred to herein as the Methodology) provides a rational basis for establishing global seismic performance factors (SPFs), including the response modification coefficient (R factor), the system overstrength factor, and deflection amplification factor (Cd), of new seismic-force-resisting systems proposed for inclusion in model building codes. The purpose of this Methodology is to provide a rational basis for determining building seismic performance factors that, when properly implemented in the seismic design process, will result in equivalent safety against collapse in an earthquake, comparable to the inherent safety against collapse intended by current seismic codes, for buildings with different seismic-force-resisting systems.

Nowadays research in earthquake engineering is mainly experimental and in large-scale; advanced computations are integrated with large-scale experiments, to complement them and extend their scope, even by coupling two different but simultaneous tests. Earthquake engineering cannot give answers by testing and qualifying few, small typical components or single large prototypes. Besides, the large diversity of Civil Engineering structures does not allow drawing conclusions from only a few tests; structures are large and their seismic response and performance cannot be meaningfully tested in an ordinary lab or in the field. So, seismic testing facilities should be much larger than in other scientific fields; their staff has to be resourceful, devising intelligent ways to carry out simultaneously different tests and advanced computations. To better serve such a mission European testing facilities and researchers in earthquake engineering have shared their resources and activities in the framework of the European project SERIES, combining their research and jointly developing advanced testing and instrumentation techniques that maximize testing capabilities and increase the value of the tests. This volume presents the first outcomes of the SERIES and its contribution towards Performance-based Earthquake Engineering, i.e., to the most important development in Earthquake Engineering of the past three decades. The concept and the methodologies for performance-based earthquake engineering have now matured. However, they are based mainly on analytical/numerical research; large-scale seismic testing has entered the stage recently. The SERIES Workshop in Ohrid (MK) in Sept. 2010 pooled together the largest European seismic testing facilities, Europe’s best experts in experimental earthquake engineering and select experts from the USA, to present recent research achievements and to address future developments. Audience: This volume will be ofinterest to researchers and advanced practitioners in structural earthquake engineering, geotechnical earthquake engineering, engineering seismology, and experimental dynamics, including seismic qualification.

Façade design is a challenging task, in which multidisciplinary issues and aspects should be optimally considered and addressed. This is especially the case of building façades exposed to seismic events, impacts, or fire. Special attention and major efforts are required for the detection and application of new technologies in the generation of modern, adaptive façade systems. This book presents a selection of research contributions to provide a comprehensive overview of façade design. It discusses the experimental analysis and numerical investigation of existing or traditional façades, as well as the development and optimal application of new technologies for modern adaptive façades and building envelopes.
