NEESinc is proud to manage, operate, and maintain a unique
national infrastructure on behalf of the National Science
Foundation's NEES Program. That infrastructure includes the following components:
A system of 15 shared experimental facilities, each enabling
researchers to explore a different aspect of the complex way that soils and structures
behave as a result of earthquakes and tsunamis. The facilities fall into five general categories:
An IT infrastructure linking
the sites and providing comprehensive services to NEES
researchers.
A system of centralized repositories for storing shared
documents, experimental data, simulation programs, software
tools, etc.
A national Headquarters located in Davis, California
The Facilities User Guide provides a system of policies and procedures governing how facilities can be shared by the national earthquake engineering research community (see also: policies and resources).
