Capturing Geotechnical Extreme Event Performance with the NHERI RAPID
Publication: Geo-Extreme 2021
ABSTRACT
The NHERI Natural Hazard Reconnaissance Facility (known as the “RAPID”), headquartered at the University of Washington (UW), is a collaboration between UW, Oregon State University, Virginia Tech, and the University of Florida. The RAPID facility enables geoextreme event researchers to conduct next-generation quick response research through reliable acquisition and community sharing of high-quality, postdisaster data sets that will allow characterization of civil infrastructure performance under natural hazard loads, evaluation of the effectiveness of current and previous design methodologies, understanding of socioeconomic dynamics, calibration of computational models used to predict civil infrastructure component and system response, and development of solutions for resilient communities. The facility provides investigators with the hardware, software, and support services needed to collect, process, and assess perishable interdisciplinary data following extreme natural hazard events. This paper describes the RAPID facility, the equipment portfolio, and the services provided by the RAPID. It concludes by highlighting the support of a Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance (GEER) Association mission following the 2018 Palu, Indonesia, earthquake.
