... Four breakout sessions were structured along 2014 and beyond, NSF sought input from the broad earth the cross-cutting dimensions, and one breakout session quake engineering community on "Grand Challenges in organized participants along disciplinary lines -- buildings, Basic Earthquake Engineering Research," with one consider lifelines, geotechnical/tsunamis, and community resilience. ation being that the program after 2014 need not be focused Each breakout session included a moderator, who served as on -- or limited to -- existing facilities.
From page 2...
... A National Research Council committee will organize a public workshop on the Grand Challenges for earthquake engineering research, to bring together experts to focus on two questions: 1. What are the high-priority Grand Challenges in basic earthquake engineering research that require a network of earthquake engineering experimental facilities and cyberinfrastructure?
From page 3...
... Simulation: Participants noted that knowledge engineering experimental capabilities and cyberinfrastructure of the inventory of infrastructure components and tools associated with addressing the grand challenge prob points of connection between different infrastructure lems. The suggested experimental facilities cover testing and types is lacking within the earthquake engineering monitoring over a wide range of scales, loading regimes, community.

... Advanced structural subsystems characterization with a suite of highly portable sensing and data facility: Such a facility could test full-sized or close acquisition tools that could be rapidly deployed to to-full-scale subsystems and components under fully structures, geo-facilities, and lifelines to monitor realistic boundary and loading conditions, to repli their stability after seismic events. cate the effects of corrosion, accelerated aging, and 7.
