Developing a Long-term Research Agenda for the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation

国家研究理事会(NRC)将通过其工程和物理科学部进行一项研究，以协助国家科学基金会制定全面、长期的地震工程研究议程，充分利用小乔治·E·布朗的能力。地震工程模拟网络(NEES)。这一努力将产生一份报告，阐明确定研究需求的动态、利益攸关方参与的过程，确定地震工程中适合采用综合研究方法的主要问题，该方法包括分析、计算建模、模拟和物理测试，并评估和评论信息和通信技术在现场和远程协作研究中可能发挥的作用。它将根据短期、中期和长期需求制定长期研究计划，制定解决这些需求的一般计划，并估计研究计划的成本和收益

The National Research Council (NRC) through its Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, will conduct a study to assist the National Science Foundation in the formulation of a comprehensive, long-term agenda for the earthquake engineering research that fully utilizes the capabilities of the George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES). This effort will result in a report that articulates a dynamic, stakeholder-inclusive process for determining research needs, identifies the principal issues in earthquake engineering amenable to an integrated research approach that incorporates analysis, computational modeling, simulation, and physical testing; and assesses and comments on the possible roles of information and communication technologies for collaborative on-site and remote research. It will produce a long-term research plan based on short-, intermediate-, and long-term needs, general program to address them, and the estimated costs and benefits of the research program
