- Abstract
- Phase I of the projected four-phase National Earthquake Engineering Experimental Facility study has been completed. Based on the results, it is now clear that the NAtional Bureau of Standards' current approach, which focuses on a particular facility, cannot be continued because of the broader issues and needs that must first be considered in such a feasibility study. A more broadly based participation of expert researchers, practitioners, and users must occur to effectively establish all the critical earthquake experimental testing needs of the country.
