Structural Design and Experimental Verification of a Buckling-Restrained Braced Frame System

摘要

Combining numerous science disciplines under one roof, the University of California at Berkeley's new Stanley Hall will serve as an archetype for scientific research, teaching, and engineering innovations. The new building (see Figure 1) will replace the existing Stanley Hall and house the Department of Bioengineering, part of the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, and particular research veins of the departments of Chemistry and Physics. The 270,000 sq. ft facility will provide state-of-the-art laboratories and technology for the study of chemistry, microbiology, bioengineering and nanophysics at a cost of approximately $150 million. Construction is planned to be completed by January 2006.
