Teleoperation and Teleparticipation of Instructional Shake Tables Using the NEES Cyberinfrastructure
One of the most important challenges facing civil engineers is mitigating severe human and economic consequences of structural dynamic responses to various large-scale excitations and future civil engineers must have an understanding of the dynamic response of structures resulting from these excitations.The recent establishment of the NSF-sponsored Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation(NEES)provides an excellent opportunity to frame hazard mitigation education in the tangible context of earthquake engineering.The cyberinfrastructure of NEES can provide teleoperation and teleparticipation of bench-scale instructional shake tables to help educate future civil engineers.This paper will discuss the establishment of a collaboratory of bench-scale instructional shake table deployment sites that provide for real-time online laboratory experiments leveraging the unique capabilities of the NEES initiative to offer laboratory experiences previously unavailable to undergraduate students.Here we will describe an initial laboratory exercise developed to educate students in the fundamentals of earthquake engineering as well as introducing them to emerging technology and multidisciplinary tools which promise to revolutionize civil engineering practice and education.
