    • The PEER research program aims to provide data, models, and software tools to support a formalized performance-based earthquake engineering methodology. Within the broad field of earthquake engineering, PEER's research currently is focused on six thrusts, these being Building Systems, Bridge and Transportation Systems, Lifelines Systems, Earthquake Hazard Characteristics, Social Sciences and Information Technologies/Data Science in support of the methodology implementation. The six thrusts have the following components.
