Workshop Overview

In an effort to develop relationships and promote dialogue and community exchange, the National Academies'' Resilient America Roundtable—in partnership with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Structural Engineering Institute (SEI), and the Advances in Information Technology Committee—co-hosted a one-day workshop on September 26, 2017. The event brought together experts, practitioners, and researchers from the public, private, and academic sectors to:

  • enhance resilience and promote faster recovery by exploring the role of advanced technologies and structural performance data in existing infrastructure and built systems;
  • discuss the future role of advanced technologies and design practice in promoting community resilience;
  • identify research gaps or opportunities in development and use of advanced technologies and design for building resilient infrastructure.

This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
