Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center

9701568 Moehle对等中心是九个核心机构的财团，密切联系，并通过电子网络定期互动。 PEER的重点是在基于性能的地震工程框架内开发城市地震风险降低技术。 该研究计划包括五个基本重点领域：（1）政策，规划和经济学;（2）地震灾害;（3）性能评估;（4）系统可靠性;（5）创新技术。 同行作为一个以问题为中心，综合中心，弥合学科差距和障碍。 此外，项目申请提供研究重点，商业和工业伙伴关系计划应吸引资金，城市示范项目将测试研究成果的适用性。 教育和伙伴关系计划用于教育学生，吸引合格的代表性不足的少数民族地震工程，并包括创新，如工程本科学者课程，K-12公共教育计划和万维网网页。 该中心是三个EERCs网络与一个总体管理委员会之一，以提供创造新知识和技术的协同作用，教育下一代地震工程师和科学家，并提供外展到行业，政府，大学预科学校和潜在的用户群体。

9701568 Moehle The PEER Center is a consortium of nine core institutions, closely linked and regularly interacting through electronic networks. The focus of PEER is to develop urban earthquake risk reduction technologies within a performance-based earthquake engineering framework. The research program contains five basic thrust areas: (1) policy, planning and economics; (2) seismic hazards; (3) performance assessment; (4) systems reliability; and (5) innovative technologies. PEER serves as a problem-focused, integrative center that bridges disciplinary gaps and barriers. In addition, project applications provide research focal points, a business and industrial partnership program should attract funding, and urban demonstration projects will test the applicability of research results. Education and partnership programs are used to educate students and attract qualified under-represented minorities to earthquake engineering, and include innovations such as the Engineering Undergraduate Scholars Course, the K-12 Public Education Program and a WWW page. The PEER Center is one of three EERCs 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.
