Grand Challenges in Earthquake Engineering Research: A Community Workshop Report
- Synopsis
-
The workshop had been planned for a long time, but convened three days after the March 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan, lending a sense of urgency to establishing a research agency to help communities become earthquake resilient. After setting out the research challenges, participants identified experimental and cyberinfrastructure networked facilities needed to address the challenges. Among these are a community resilience observatory, a rapid monitoring facility, a large-scale shaking table, and a mobile facility for in-situ structural testing.
