An Outline and Benefit of Research Collaboration between NEES and E-Defense

Abstract eng:
Brief histories of the establishment of NEES and E-Defense are presented, followed by a summary of the preparation, initiation, and status of the NEES/E-Defense collaboration. The benefits obtained from the collaboration are discussed in the light of conspicuous differences in the organizational features of the two organizations, i.e., a single large facility approach versus a network testing environment. A few notable examples of collaboration are discussed, e.g., the use of both facilities for the same specimens in different scales, blind analysis competition for the prediction of responses involving serious damage, and development of a multipurpose TestBed for cost-effective and time-efficient shaking table tests.
