Earthquake Engineering Vision 2020 Purpose Vision 2020 was established to formulate a vision of where earthquake engineering in the US needs to be in 2020 to vigorously address the grand challenge of mitigating earthquake and tsunami risk. principal new directions in research, practice, education reflect on the role of the NEES network

Earthquake Engineering Vision 2020 Theme Participants unanimously identified resilient and sustainable communities as the overarching theme to guide future efforts Involves physical systems (e.g. buildings, highways, sanitation, subways, communications, energy facilities) human systems (e.g. local population and its associations such as schools, banking and insurance systems; socioeconomic and legal frameworks that guide decisions)

Earthquake Engineering Vision 2020 Our goal is to ensure a more resilient Nation - one in which individuals, communities, and our economy can adapt to changing conditions as well as withstand and rapidly recover from disruption due to emergencies. -- President Barack Obama National Preparedness Month, A Proclamation By The President of the United States of America, September 4, 2009

Earthquake Engineering Vision 2020 Principal Directions Metrics to quantify resilience Hazard prediction and risk communication Existing structures and infrastructure New materials, components and systems Monitoring and assessment of resilience Simulation of systems Technology transfer

Earthquake Engineering Vision 2020 Metrics to Quantify Resilience Definition for resilient communities within the context of the engineering profession Need expectation of performance levels before, during and after earthquakes Structures (new and existing) Lifelines and occupants Lifecycle considerations Multi-hazard

Earthquake Engineering Vision 2020 Hazard Prediction & Risk Communication New technologies will enable enhanced situational awareness in real-time Assess structural integrity Communication for search and rescue Comprehensive evaluation of an event Fundamental requirements are smart, ubiquitous sensors, system level models for prediction, data collection and processing systems

Earthquake Engineering Vision 2020 Renewal and Existing Structures Existing vulnerable physical assets Uncertain inventory / condition High costs of mitigation strategies Limited existing decision support tools Need experimental and computational tools to assess the hazard, manage the inventory, and evaluate the condition Courtesy of Quakewrap

Earthquake Engineering Vision 2020 New Materials, Elements and Structures Resilient structures enabled by Auto-adaptive materials New, modular construction techniques Physics-based modeling of materials Quantification of advantages Deployment requires re-design of the components and the systems, and experimental verification Courtesy of BigFish L Chico et al.
