NSF Initiatives to Advance Earthquake Engineering

NEES will be a collaboratory, i.e., an integrated experimental, computational, communications, and curated repository system, developed to support collaboration in earthquake engineering research and education.  Through NEES, the earthquake engineering community will be catalyzed to utilize its advanced experimental capabilities to test and validate more complex and comprehensive analytical and computer numerical models that will improve the seismic design and performance of our Nation’s civil and mechanical systems.
