The working group chairs and JTCC are discussing some changes to the program. The nature of the breakout sessions is not yet determined. On Friday, all meeting attendees will see a test of a full-scale, four story, RC Japanese hospital that is fully furnished and supported on seismic isolators.

Proceedings of past meetings

These documents clearly show the tremendous scope and creativity of work being done as part of the NEES/E-Defense Program.

The published version of the September 2009 Phase 2 planning meeting proceedings can be seen at: http://peer.berkeley.edu/publications/peer_reports/reports_2010/web_10_109NEES_Edefense.pdf. The summary reports from the breakout sessions (in Appendix VII) will provide a starting point for the 8th planning meeting.
