Objective
This proposal is for a 4-year extension of the Bristol Part of the successful ECOEST programme funded (1900 kECU) by the Commission within HCMP (Large facilities) for the period 1.3.9329.2.96.
ECOEST contains four of Europe's principal earthquake engineering laboratories, at Athens, Bergamo, Bristol (co-ordinator) and Lisbon. ECOEST2 proposes the addition of Julich (Germany) to this quartet*. Recent earthquakes in California (1994 and Japan (1995) have confirmed the timeliness and value of the ECOEST research programme, particularly the need to mobilise total European competence if satisfactory results are to be obtained in reasonable time.
Bristol contributes significantly to the five main research themes of ECOEST, which are:
1 To standardise shaking table facilities and operating procedures at international levels, allowing Europe-wide research activity. 2 To give specific support to research requirements of EUROCODE8 (Design of Structures in Seismic Areas) in all topics specified by the drafting committee .
3 To accept European researchers to participate in Bristol's own research in steel structures, long-span bridges and dams.
4 To offer training in the use of shaking tables in seismic design and to promote good practice.
5 To publish research results and data in support of the European Construction Industry in its internationally competitive activities. After this proposal had been prepared (5.4.95) Julich decided to wait until the 2nd call for proposals (March 1997) before joining ECOEST 2.
