JUNE 15-16, 2017
The NHERI Wall of Wind (WOW) Experimental Facility (EF) will be hosting a one and a half day user workshop at Florida International University. The focus of the workshop is to:


1.      Provide researchers with information on the capabilities of the NHERI WOW EF for advanced natural hazard engineering research

2.      Detail the three main types of tests (aerodynamic/aeroelastic, destructive and wind-driven rain) conducted at the NHERI WOW EF and the required preparation for performing multi-scale tests

3.      Discuss recent advancements in experimental and numerical research in natural hazard mitigation

4.      Provide a platform for research collaboration and idea exchange between workshop participants

5.      Explore opportunities to utilize the NHERI WOW EF
This onsite workshop will provide faculty members with valuable information about the resources available at the NHERI WOW EF, services provided by the EF staff to the users of the facility and how to increase their success rate in obtaining NSF funding for natural hazards mitigation research. Also, the workshop will include a tour of the facility, live test demonstration and two keynote talks by the experts of the field. The first talk, presented by Dr. Ahsan Kareem, will target the “Role of NHERI EFs and SimCenter in Developing and Validating Computational and Numerical Modeling Techniques” and the second talk, presented by Dr. Peter Irwin, will discuss the “Role of the NHERI WOW EF in Advancing Fundamental and Multidisciplinary Research on Natural Hazards Mitigation.”
