[Announce] Register for 2nd NSF NHERI Wall of Wind Experimental Facility User Workshop Nov 18

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

We cordially invite you to attend a one-day onsite workshop Nov 18 at FIU in Miami, to learn more about this facility and to discuss NSF submission opportunities using the NHERI WOW-EF. For more information and to register by Sep 30 please visit https://www.designsafe-ci.org/learning-center/workshop-161118/

The Wall of Wind (WOW) at Florida International University (FIU) is among the seven designated shared-use Experimental Facilities (EFs) under the National Science Foundation’s (NSF’s) Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) program. The NHERI WOW EF is primarily dedicated to studying ground-breaking concepts to protect homes, businesses and infrastructure lifelines, and enable innovations to help prevent wind hazards from becoming societal disasters. The facility is available to be utilized through NSF-funded programs.

We seek researchers focusing on wind hazards and wind engineering pertaining to buildings and other infrastructure systems, knowledge advancements and innovations to achieve resilient and sustainable communities, as well as on the general areas of experimental aerodynamics for multi-disciplinary researchers who wish to pursue NSF funding to access one or more NHERI EFs. NSF programs well suited to fund access to these facilities include:


·         the Engineering for Natural Hazards (ENH) program

·         the Structural and Architectural Engineering and Materials (SAEM) program

·         programs such as, among others, Infrastructure Management and Extreme Events (IMEE), Civil Infrastructure Systems (CIS), Environmental Sustainability, Critical Resilient Infrastructure Systems and Processes (RIPS).
