NEES (Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation)

The Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) is a collaboration of researchers, engineers, and institutions focused on studying how earthquakes affect buildings and infrastructure. Using advanced experimental facilities and computer models, NEES conducts experiments and simulations to improve understanding of seismic risks and develop safer construction methods. Its goal is to enhance earthquake resilience, helping communities better prepare for and recover from earthquakes. By sharing data and resources, NEES accelerates progress in earthquake engineering, ultimately protecting people and reducing property damage during seismic events.
