Earthquake Engineering Vision 2020
PurposeVision 2020 was established to formulate
a vision of where earthquake engineering in the US needs to be in 2020 to vigorously address the grand challenge of mitigating earthquake and tsunami risk.
principal new directions in research, practice, education
reflect on the role of the NEES network
Earthquake Engineering Vision 2020
ThemeParticipants unanimously identified
resilient and sustainable communities as the overarching theme to guide future efforts
Involves physical systems (e.g. buildings, highways,
sanitation, subways, communications, energy facilities)
human systems (e.g. local population and its associations such as schools, banking and insurance systems; socioeconomic and legal frameworks that guide decisions)

“Our goal is to ensure a more resilient Nation - one in which individuals, communities, and our economy can adapt to changing conditions as well as withstand and rapidly recover from disruption due to emergencies.”
-- President Barack ObamaNational Preparedness Month, A Proclamation By
The President of the United States of America, September 4, 2009
Earthquake Engineering Vision 2020
Principal DirectionsMetrics to quantify resilienceHazard prediction and risk communicationExisting structures and infrastructureNew materials, components and systemsMonitoring and assessment of resilienceSimulation of systemsTechnology transfer
Earthquake Engineering Vision 2020
Metrics to Quantify ResilienceDefinition for resilient communities within
the context of the engineering profession Need expectation of performance levels
before, during and after earthquakes Structures (new and existing)Lifelines and occupantsLifecycle considerationsMulti-hazard
Earthquake Engineering Vision 2020
Hazard Prediction & Risk CommunicationNew technologies will enable enhanced
situational awareness in real-timeAssess structural integrityCommunication for search and rescueComprehensive evaluation of an event
Fundamental requirements are smart, ubiquitous sensors, system level models for prediction, data collection and processing systems
Earthquake Engineering Vision 2020
Renewal and Existing StructuresExisting vulnerable physical assets
Uncertain inventory / conditionHigh costs of mitigation strategiesLimited existing decision support tools
Need experimental and computational tools to assess the hazard, manage the inventory, and evaluate the condition

New Materials, Elements and StructuresResilient structures enabled by
Auto-adaptive materialsNew, modular construction techniques Physics-based modeling of materials Quantification of advantages
Deployment requires re-design of the components and the systems, and experimental verification

Monitoring and AssessmentInstrumenting the built and natural
environmentsIntegrating real-time data
Event detectionPost-event response planningModel validationDiagnosis and prognosis Human response
Reduce, ingest and aggregate vast amounts of data
Earthquake Engineering Vision 2020
Simulation of SystemsCentral to improving resiliencyFuture work should consider
Multi-scale models and multi-physics models
Hybrid experiments involving both physical and social infrastructures
Consider not only components, but systems and interacting elements
Earthquake Engineering Vision 2020
Technology TransferMeasurable impact will be achieved
by transfer of this knowledge to practice of engineering, building codespublic policy, decision making and behaviorhazards other than earthquakespublic-at-large
Research to advance technology transfer – education, communication, social media, etc.
