The Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) is a multi-institutional research and education center headquartered at the University of California, Berkeley. With contributions from investigators at over 20 universities, consulting companies, and government agencies, PEER conducts research programs focused on performance-based earthquake engineering in various disciplines, including structural and geotechnical engineering, seismology, transportation, and public policy.
PEER's research program aims to provide data, models, and software tools to support a formalized performance-based earthquake engineering methodology. Currently, their research is focused on four main thrusts: Building Systems, Bridge and Transportation Systems, Lifelines Systems, and Information Technologies. Through their research and educational initiatives, PEER strives to enhance earthquake resilience and risk management.
