Designing Safety: Cullen College And Taipei Center Renew Agreement To Improve Seismic Performance Of Infrastructures
Continuing a successful 15-year-long partnership, the UH Cullen College’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) has renewed its collaborative agreement with the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) in Taipei, Taiwan for another five years.
Recognized as one of the best earthquake research centers in the world, NCREE is home to two of the largest tri-axial shake tables, used to simulate the response of structures to earthquakes. Shake table experiments provide data that is crucial for assessing the seismic performance of infrastructure components and for improving design procedures.
