Grid-Enabled Distributed Structural Engineering Experiment Management

In this paper, Structural Engineering Experiment Grid (SEE-Grid) is proposed. The goal of SEE-Grid is to pool together structure engineering facilities and experimental data and knowledge among physically and administratively distributed communities. The service-oriented, hierarchical architecture of SEE-Grid is present. The key issues of SEE-Grid, including the experiment management and data management, are discussed in detail. Finally, the portal of SEE-Grid is demonstrated and the result of a geographically distributed structural engineering experiment is showed via SEE-Grid portal.
