Topic: Mission and Major Research Components of the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center./ 太平洋地震工程研究中心（PEER）的任务和主要研究内容
Abstract: The Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center is a multi-institutional research and education center spanning over a wide range of institutions and disciplines. Investigators from over 20 universities, several business and industry partners, and practitioners at various State and Federal government agencies contribute to PEER’s research programs focused on performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE). This takes place in several disciplines including structural and geotechnical engineering, geology/seismology, lifelines, transportation, risk management, and public policy. Fundamental mission of PEER is the reduction of earthquake hazard on the society. Three key components constitute the core of this fundamental mission: (1) providing basic life safety during earthquakes and eliminating earthquake induced deaths and injuries, (2) increasing resiliency of the built environment with significant reduction of downtime, and (3) developing enabling technologies to achieve the above two objectives. This presentation starts with a basic review of the PEER Center. Subsequently, progressive collapse simulations and the PEER PBEE framework and its application to common and important structural and electrical equipment systems are presented as examples of the first two components. Subsequently, enabling technologies developed within PEER that facilitate analytical and hybrid simulations, namely OpenSees and OpenFresco, are discussed. The presentation concludes with the future vision of PEER activities and potential collaboration opportunities.
