Welcome to the Center for Earthquake Engineering Simulation @ Rensselaer

The 100 g-ton geotechnical centrifuge at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute was commissioned on campus in August 1989. The centrifuge facility was financed jointly by the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER) at SUNY-Buffalo , National Science Foundation (NSF) , State of New York, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
