The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) website is featuring a special video article on the NEESgrid. The leaders of the NEESgrid Team, including MAE Center Director Dan Abrams, are featured in the site’s special report at: http://neesgrid.org/news/whatis/.
Each leading expert in the field of earthquake engineering and grid computing gives a brief message on the NEES “collaboratory†on “how the NEESgrid will link earthquake engineers across the U.S. with leading-edge computing resources and research equipment, how it will get there, and what it will allow scientists to doâ€, as the NCSA web page states.
The University of Illinois is one of the NEES Equipment Sites’ Large-Scale Laboratory Experimentation Systems in the NEESgrid. On September 1, 2002, the University of Illinois was awarded the “Multi-Axial Full-scale Sub-Structuring Testing & Simulation Facility (MUST-SIM)†by the National Science Foundation under the NEES grant.
As the project description states through the NEES Consortium, “the MUST-SIM facility will be deployed in testing complete soil-foundation-structure systems to meet the new and major earthquake engineering challenges, not only in research and development towards seismic risk reduction, but also towards education and training of engineers through integration into curricula at the University and through the NSF-funded Mid-America Earthquake Center's Education and Outreach program.â€
Professor Amr Elnashai, MAE Center Associate Director, is the Principal Investigator for this project. To learn more on about MUST-SIM, visit http://nees.uiuc.edu/
