Abstract
E-Defense is developing a system which enables all earthquake engineering researchers to freely access to valuable experimental data obtained during shake table tests executed there after some period. EDgrid is a cyberinfrastructure being developed for this purpose by using the cutting-edge information technology with NEESit in the United States of America. In this research, a data model has been developed for storing all the data related to experiments performed at E-Defense in the EDgrid central repository correctly, effectively and efficiently. The data model was developed on the basis of the event-based relational data model theory to correspond to possible future facility expansion and collaboration with other databases in various countries.
