NEEShub

NEEShub was a central data repository and computational platform that supported the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) program. Funded by the National Science Foundation, NEES was a large-scale distributed research infrastructure designed to advance earthquake engineering research and practice. NEEShub served as the primary gateway for researchers to access and share earthquake engineering data, software, and tools.

The platform hosted a vast collection of data from earthquake simulations, experimental tests, and real-world earthquake events. This data included structural response measurements, material properties, seismic ground motion records, and detailed information about experimental setups. NEEShub also provided access to specialized software applications for earthquake engineering analysis, modeling, and visualization. Researchers could upload their own data and analysis results, contributing to a growing collaborative knowledge base.

In addition to data and software, NEEShub offered computational resources and services. It facilitated the execution of complex simulations and analyses, often leveraging high-performance computing environments. The platform aimed to foster collaboration among researchers by providing a shared environment for data management and research dissemination. NEEShub played a crucial role in making earthquake engineering research more accessible, reproducible, and impactful, ultimately contributing to the development of more resilient structures and communities against seismic hazards. The NEES program and its associated infrastructure, including NEEShub, concluded its operational phase in 2015, with its data and resources transitioning to other archival and access platforms.
