The FIU NHERI Wall of Wind (WOW) and the NHERI Lehigh RTMD Experimental Facilities (EF) hosted an online two-day user workshop. This online workshop provided participants with valuable information about the resources and services available at the NHERI WOW EF and the NHERI RTMD EF, and how to better engage their capabilities for obtaining NSF funding for natural hazards mitigation research and other basic science research.
The FIU NHERI Wall of Wind (WOW) Experimental Facility (EF) and the NHERI SimCenter hosted an online two-day user workshop. The focus of the workshop was to:
This online workshop will provided participants with valuable information about the resources and services available at the NHERI WOW EF and the SimCenter, and how to better engage their capabilities for obtaining NSF funding for natural hazards mitigation research and other basic science research.

The NHERI Wall of Wind (WOW) Experimental Facility is hosting a one-day user workshop at Florida International University (FIU), in Miami, FL. The focus of the workshop is to:
This onsite workshop will provide participants with valuable information about the resources and services available at the NHERI WOW and how to better engage the EF for obtaining NSF funding for natural hazards mitigation research and other basic science research. The workshop also will include a tour of the NHERI WOW EF and a demonstration of the EF capabilities.
Financial support for travel will be limited and priority will be given to faculty planning to submit NSF proposals that intend to use the NHERI WOW EF. Financial support for attending the workshop will be awarded in order of registration (hotel and flight arrangements will be managed by FIU up to $850 per individual).
We look forward to welcoming you to our workshop!
The NHERI Wall of Wind (WOW) Experimental Facility (EF) and the NHERI Natural Hazards Reconnaissance Facility (referred to as the RAPID Facility") hosted a one and a half day user workshop at Florida International University (FIU), Miami, FL on May 17th and 18th. The focus of the workshop was to:
This onsite workshop provided faculty members with valuable information about the resources and services available at the NHERI WOW and RAPID EFs, and how to better engage the EFs for obtaining NSF funding for natural hazards mitigation research and other basic science research. Also, the workshop included a tour of the NHERI WOW EF facility and a live test demonstration of the two EFs capabilities.

The NHERI Wall of Wind (WOW) Experimental Facility (EF) hosted a one and a half day user workshop at Florida International University. The focus of the workshop was to:
This onsite workshop provided faculty members with valuable information about the resources available at the NHERI WOW EF, services provided by the EF staff to the users of the facility and how to increase their success rate in obtaining NSF funding for natural hazards mitigation research. Also, the workshop included a tour of the facility, live test demonstration and two keynote talks by the experts of the field. The first talk, presented by Dr. Ahsan Kareem, targeted the Role of NHERI EFs and SimCenter in Developing and Validating Computational and Numerical Modeling Techniques and the second talk, presented by Dr. Peter Irwin, discussed the Role of the NHERI WOW EF in Advancing Fundamental and Multidisciplinary Research on Natural Hazards Mitigation.
The 2016 NSF NHERI WOW EF User Workshop was held on Nov 18th, 2016 in Florida International University. The workshop provided participants with valuable information about the capabilities of the NHERI WOW EF, user services provided by the EF, the process for accessing NSF funding for EF use, and the science plan and major themes for the NHERI WOW EF. In addition, the workshop participants witnessed a live destructive test demonstration involving concrete roof pavers.
This workshop attracted more than 30 researchers from several universities spread all over the country with diverse research interests spanning from fluid mechanics and wind energy, to structural engineering.
The joint FIU and UF NHERI Experimental Facility Workshop was held on December 3rd-4th, 2015. The workshop provided information about the capabilities of the FIU and UFs EFs, as well as user services provided, accessing NSF funding for EF use, the science plans, and opportunities for networking with fellow researchers to propose guidance and long-term strategies for optimal use of these EFs developing collaborative programs, and initiating proposals.
FIU and UF NHERI Experimental Facilities have complementary capabilities that offer the wind hazard research community access to full-scale experimental testing of holistic system and component performance, as well as scale model wind load quantification.
