Centrifuge Facility at Davishttp://cgm.engr.ucdavis.edu/NEES/nees.html
UC Davis2
Components of project• Speed upgrade - to 80 g• Advanced Instrumentation - subcontracts to develop 8-
channel sensor managers and to investigate feasibility of wireless communication underground.
• Robot - in flight testing, construction and inspection
• New building - 4200 ft2 of new space
• Shaker upgrades - biaxial shaker
• Geophysical testing
• Display wall/numerical simulation

UCD NEES Advisory Board
• Tarek Abdoun, Abbas Abghari, JP Bardet, Po Lam, Dave McCallen, Jack Moehle, Paul Van Laak
• First meeting September 13, 2001 – Three board members attended physically
– Two members attended by polycom
• Project status and other presentations from EAB meeting are posted at:– http://cgm.engr.ucdavis.edu/NEES/eab/eab.html

Questions for SI, CD, NSF
• NEESpop– Where does it fit in our LAN?– Who pays for it?– What are the specs?
• Clarification of responsibilities of– NSF, Equipment sites, SI, and CD
• Who is responsible to make sure that the SI system fits with the equipment sites and the whole NEES works together?
UC Davis5
Question for Equipment Sites
• Can we share hardware and software design, development and maintenance costs?
– Data Acquisition Systems– LAN hardware and software– NEES Software (visualization, telepresence)– Expertise of people at certain sites may be helpful
to other sites
