About Us
The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute is an Oakland-based nonprofit with over 2500 academic and professional members throughout the world who share a common interest in reducing the effects of earthquakes on society. EERI will be the lead organization for this coalition.
EERI has two co-sponsors in the Concrete Coalition - the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER), and the Applied Technology Council (ATC). The Applied Technology Council is currently preparing a federally funded national plan for the development, maintenance, and implementation of guidelines for the rehabilitation of existing buildings with important connections to the effort to reduce risks in concrete buildings. The Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center is also working on a related effort, to develop technical procedures to identify dangerous concrete buildings and develop cost-efficient retrofit measures.
