Designsafe: a Cyberinfrastructure for the Natural Hazards Community

Abstract eng:
The DesignSafe cyberinfrastructure is being developed to enable and facilitate transformative research in natural hazards engineering, including earthquake engineering, and this research necessarily spans across multiple disciplines and can take advantage of advancements in computation, experimentation, and data analysis. DesignSafe will allow researchers to more effectively share and find data using cloud services, perform numerical simulations using high performance computing, and integrate diverse datasets such that researchers will be able to make discoveries that were previously unattainable. This paper describes the main components of the DesignSafe cyberinfrastructure, its relationship to the NEEShub for earthquake engineering research, the design principles used in the development process, and the role of the DesignSafe cyberinfrastructure in enabling transformative research in earthquake engineering.
