The NEES MUST-SIM Facility Multi-Axial Full-ScaleSub-Structured Testing and Simulation Facility
NEES Background • The Equipment Sites • General Introduction of the MUST-SIM Facility • The MUST-SIM Facility Components • Centralized NEESit Services • The MUST-SIM Experimental Method (1/5th-scale and Hybrid Testing)
The George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) • 2000 – 2004: 70M 15 New Experimental Testing Facilities • 2000 – 2004: 12M NEESgrid Cyberinfrastructure Program • 2001 ->: Creation of NEES Consortium • 2004 – 2014: 250M Operations and Maintenance • 2004 – 2014: Annual RFP
What is Special About NEES • Size of Financial Investment (~ 500 million in 14 yrs) • First Major Research Equipment Grant in Engineering • Distributed Network of Facilities • Real Time Sharing of Experimental and Computational Test • Data Using Sophistical Protocols and Visualization Tools • Integration of Computational and Analytical Research • Bringing together Researchers from Multiple Fields • Development of Curated Repository of Test Data
