George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES)
Synopsis
The George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) supports collaboration in earthquake engineering research and education through the development of a national, networked simulation resource of geographically distributed, shared-use, next generation experimental research equipment installations, curated data repository, and access to leading edge computational resources. NEES will become operational by September 30, 2004, and operate for ten years under a NEES Consortium. NEES is developing through a series of solicitations. This solicitation, "NEES Earthquake Engineering Research Equipment, Phase 2," requests proposals to complete the NEES research equipment portfolio that was started as Phase 1 under an earlier solicitation, NSF 00-6, "NEES: Earthquake Engineering Research Equipment."
