The NEES equipment includes new and upgraded shake tables, centrifuges, an enlarged tsunami wave basin, large-scale laboratory experimentation systems, and field experimentation and monitoring installations.
NEES is envisioned as a new paradigm for earthquake engineering research. To take advantage of NEES’s unique capabilities, NSF requested the assistance of the National Research Council (NRC) in developing a long-term research agenda.
The purpose of the NRC effort was both to develop a process for identifying research needs and to consult stakeholders in framing the important questions to be addressed through NEES.
The long-term research agenda will guide the next generation of earthquake engineering research and shape the conduct of a program of great national and international importance.

Preface to Preventing Earthquake Disasters
The George E. Brown, Jr., Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) is a collaboratory for integrated experimentation.computation, theory, databases, and model-based simulation in earthquake engineering research and education intended to improve the seismic design and performance of the U.S.
