AB  -       Bringing Current Research to Classroom using Study of Earthquake      Response of Buried Pipelines: An Interactive Approach to Vertically                            Integrated ClassroomsAbstractThis paper describes a hands-on and demonstration driven learning opportunity at theundergraduate level for the students to understand and experience the behavior of buried waterpipelines in seismic regions. This research was brought to freshman design, a junior levelstructural analysis/design, and experimentation and a graduate level structural engineeringclassroom, by vertically integrating coursework with a i) analysis and design project, and ii) astructural testing of a pipeline segment at the laboratory. The design project uses cellularconcrete to simulate a friction-confined boundary condition at earthquake fault locations. Thestudents built structural computer models of the buried pipeline at a strike–slip fault andphysically tested pipe segments in the structures laboratory. The load-deformation laboratorytests were designed and conducted through a collaborative effort of professional practitioners,industry specialists, faculty, and students. The tests aim to demonstrate how pipes deform whensubject to transverse loads, similar to the lateral movement experienced at an earthquake fault.Students are able to grasp the concepts of pipeline design for earthquake resistance, and learn tounderstand inelastic nonlinear response caused by large seismic deformation through a hands-onmodel. Through the analysis/design project and the experiment, undergraduate and graduatestudents understand the concept of how improvements can be made to pipeline design so thatstructural resilience can be improved at an earthquake fault crossing. This paper documentsdetails of the vertical integration of courseware starting from freshman level to graduate leveland effectiveness of student group work in vertically integration of classrooms. The final paperwill present details of course assessment as well as impact of the courseware for professionalpractice.
