NEES

The US National Science Foundation supported the George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) as a national, networked collaboration of geographically-distributed, shared-use experimental research equipment sites from 2004 through 2014. Each site had telepresence and teleoperation capabilities, computer models and physical test specimens, which transformed the environment for earthquake engineering. NEES@Lehigh was an equipment site specializing in real-time multi-directional (RTMD) testing for earthquake simulation of large-scale structural systems.

This site was supported by the George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) Program of the National Science Foundation (NSF) under Award Number CMMI-0927178 (October 2009 – September 2014).
