000020077 520__ $$2eng$$aThe George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) functioned as a shared-use network of 14 advanced laboratories connected by state-of-the-art cyberinfrastructure fostering collaboration in research and education. In a decade since officially opening its doors, over 400 multi-year, multi-investigator projects were completed, yielding many advances in earthquake engineering and a wealth of valuable experimental data. In this paper, brief descriptions of some of the many research accomplishments of researchers using NEES are given as well as lessons learned from the years of operation with sponsorship from the National Science Foundation (NSF). This network of 14 laboratories enabled researchers to explore key aspects of the complex way that soils and structures behave in response to earthquakes and tsunamis. Many of the projects conducted have prompted, or laid the groundwork for, improvements in model building codes and in design and construction practices, enhancing societal resilience to earthquakes and tsunamis. In addition to projects funded by NSF, NEES laboratories were used for research funded by other federal, state, and local agencies, by private industry, and by international researchers under the partnerships that NEES cultivated with research facilities and agencies in Japan, Taiwan, Canada, and China.
