Research Challenges
nReal-time analysis for rapid response.
nMassive amount of data ® Smart, efficient, innovative data management and analysis tools.
nPoor signal-to-noise ratio due to traffic, construction,
explosions, ….
nInsufficient data for large earthquakes ® Structure response must be extrapolated from small and moderate-size earthquakes,
and force-vibration testing.
nFirst steps
–Monitor
building motion
–Develop
algorithm for network to recognize significant seismic events using real-time monitoring.
–Develop
theoretical model of building motion and soil structure by numerical simulation and inversion.
–Apply dense
sensing of building and infrastructure (plumbing, ducts) with experimental nodes.
