Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER)

9701471 Lee地震损失减少先进技术中心（ATEL）是一个由九个机构组成的联合体，在使用现代通信网络的综合研究和管理框架下紧密联系。该中心的重点将是开发和应用先进和新兴技术，用于建筑物和民用基础设施的设计，施工和智能工程更新，以减少地震损失。 研究的一个组成部分与减少损失有关：消除社会经济障碍;为新知识和新技术制定奖励措施。 该中心将开展一项综合研究、教育和外联方案，该方案将以三个主要要素为基础：（a）建筑环境的绩效评估;（B）关键设施的修复;（c）利用新的损失估计方法和先进技术进行应对和恢复。研究的技术重点是：高性能计算;现场修复;结构控制和监测;智能和高性能材料;状况评估;机器人系统;和决策系统。一个针对研究生和本科生、K- 12、专业人员和公共部门的综合教育计划与研究计划相结合，并得到两个用户网络的支持，重点是：（a）高级计算;（B）实验设施。 将实施一项创新的外联方案，以促进和发展：公众认识;专业培训和再教育;知识/技术转让和利用的伙伴关系。 ATEL中心是三个EERC之一，与一个总体管理委员会联网，在创造新知识和技术方面提供协同作用，教育下一代地震工程师和科学家，并为工业，政府，大学预科学校和潜在用户群体提供外展服务。

9701471 Lee The Center for Advanced Technologies in Earthquake Loss- Reduction (ATEL) is a nine-institution consortium, closely linked under an integrated research and management framework using modern communication networks. The thrust of this center will be the development and application of advanced and emerging technologies for design, construction, and intelligent engineering renewal of buildings and civil infrastructure in reducing earthquake losses. An integral part of the research is associated with loss-reduction: removal of socio-economic barriers; and development of incentives for new knowledge and technology. This EERC will carry out an integrated research, education and outreach program that will be built on three major elements: (a) performance assessment of the built environment; (b) rehabilitation of critical facilities; and (c) response and recovery using new loss estimation methodologies and advanced technologies. The technological foci of the research are: high-performance computing; site remediation; structural control and monitoring; smart and high- performance materials; condition assessment; robotics systems; and decision-making systems. A comprehensive education plan for graduate and undergraduate students, K- 12, professionals and the public sector is integrated with the research plan and is supported by two user networks focused upon: (a) advanced computation; and (b) experimental facilities. An innovative outreach program will be implemented to promote and develop: public awareness; professional training and re-education; and partnerships for knowledge/technology transfer and utilization. The Center for ATEL is one of three EERC's networked with an overarching governing board to provide synergism in creating new knowledge and technology, educating the next generation of earthquake engineers and scientists, and providing outreach to industry, government, pre-college schools and potential user groups.
