Abstract

This award to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is for a six-month, scoping study to define detailed user requirements, hardware and software technologies, and needed support infrastructure for the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) system for the NEES collaboratory. The NEES collaboratory is part of the NEES Major Research Equipment project, which will be developed during 2000-2004 and operated from 2004-2014. The collaboratory will connect, through a high performance network, distributed major earthquake engineering research equipment such as shake tables, centrifuges, tsunami/wave tanks, large-scale laboratory experimentation systems, and field experimentation and monitoring installations. The collaboratory will also provide a curated repository for experimental data, enable teleobservation and teleoperation participation in earthquake engineering experiments …
