Dec. 3 Joint User Workshop: NHERI Lehigh & NHERI FIU: Advanced simulation for natural hazards mitigation & multi-hazards engineering

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

*Lehigh and FIU Joint User Workshop*




*Advanced simulation for natural hazards mitigation & challenges and
opportunities for multi-hazards engineering*



December 3, 2018 | Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA



This collaborative workshop between NHERI Lehigh and NHERI Florida
International University will be held at the NHERI Lehigh Real-Time
Multi-Directional (RTMD) Facility in Bethlehem, PA, and will be developed
as an interactive series of sessions that includes presentations, facility
tours, and hands-on demonstrations and activities, including discussions on
challenges and opportunities for multi-hazards engineering and
multi-hazards hybrid simulation testing currently being collaboratively
developed by NHERI Lehigh and NHERI FIU. Participants will also learn about
NHERI Lehigh, including its equipment and instrumentation portfolio and the
capabilities and experimental protocols of the NHERI Lehigh EF, along with
those of NHERI FIU.



Participants will gain critical knowledge required to write successful NSF
proposals utilizing the facility’s equipment and staff. Attendees will also
be educated on the RTMD site portfolio of projects in order to guide them
and generate ideas for new potential research projects. Additionally,
attendees will be introduced to the real-time hybrid simulation method and
have the opportunity to work with hands-on example problems using the NHERI
Lehigh EF equipment.



Participant support costs up to $700 per participant are available and
should be requested at the time of registration. Participant support
funding will be distributed on a first-come basis until all funds are
allocated, but priority will be given to faculty and researchers interested
in writing proposals to utilize NHERI Lehigh and/or NHERI FIU. Participant
support will be provided through reimbursement following the submittal and
review of allowable expense receipts at the conclusion of the workshop. All
participant support funding will be confirmed by NHERI Lehigh to
registrants no later than November 16 so that travel arrangements can be
made by the registrant.
