NEES-R 2008
Proposal Preparation Assistance
and Test Planning

The staff at nees@berkeley can assist you with developing your NEES-R 2008 proposal. We can provide information about:

  1. Capabilities and resources of our laboratory;

  2. Proven ways to use our equipment, including our fast actuator, high-speed cameras and laser scanners;

  3. Possible configurations of our reaction walls to best suit your tests;

  4. Methods and techniques to successfully develop hybrid models and conduct hybrid simulations at nees@berkeley;

  5. Best-practices in data interpretation, curation, storage, and uploading to the NEES repository.

We can also help you obtain competitive vendor quotes for specific equipment, specimens and/or services beyond the ones we provide, as stated on page 11 of NSF NEES-R 2008 RFP. In particular, we can help you contact experienced contractors who have already manufactured specimens made of steel, reinforced concrete and wood for other researchers using our lab.

Please contact us and let's see what we can do together.
