S16-01 NEES Collaboratory Research Advances
Description:
The NEES Consortium, Inc. (NEESinc) was incorporated in 2004 to operate and maintain a national collaboratory in earthquake engineering simulation for a ten-year operation period (2005-2014). NEES is a shared national network of 15 experimental facilities, collaborative tools, a centralized data repository, and earthquake simulation software, all linked by ultra-high-speed Internet2 connections. Together, these resources provide the means for collaboration and discovery in the form of more advanced research based on experimentation and computational simulations of the ways buildings, bridges, utility systems, coastal regions, and geomaterials perform during seismic events.
This session, entitled “NEES Collaboratory Research Advances” will present the technical results of research projects using the NEES network. The session will provide project overviews, highlight key technical findings, and discuss practical implications stemming from the research. Multi-disciplinary projects will be featured. Topics will include structural, geotechnical, and tsunami technical areas, and papers will discuss the broader multi-disciplinary context of research and implementation.
Examples of the possible talks are as follows:
- Mitigation of Collapse Risk in Older Concrete Buildings
- Seismic Risk Management for Port Systems
- Performance of Combined Frame-Wall-Foundation Systems through Centrifuge Testing
- Shake Table Testing of a Full-Scale Woodframe Building
- Application of Seismic Protection Systems to Woodframed Buildings: Full-Scale Testing and Field Implementation
- Full Scale Destructive Field Testing of Bridge Testing
- Landslide Tsunami Generator Experiments
- Lifeline Response to Earthquake Ground Rupture
- Model Selection for Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering of Bridges
- Centrifuge Modeling of New Orleans Flood Protection System
- Soil Improvement Methods for Liquifaction Remediation: Prefabricated Vertical Earthquake Drains and Colloidal Silica Grout
- Ground Rupture Effect on Buried Pipelines
- Modeling of Pile Foundation Response to Lateral Spreading
- Response of a Dynamically Loaded Pile Cap with Different Backfill Conditions
