This action provides continuing support for the U.S. Committee on Tunneling Technology. The major activities of this committee are related to the technical issues involving the stability of subsurface openings. Previous activities of the committee have contributed to a national focus on geotechnical engineering research in the area of earthquake lifeline engineering. During the next year the Committee will address several key issues in subsurface tunneling, namely the hazards associated with surface openings, and the effect of tunnels and underground openings on the earthquake response of nearby building foundations. The Committee's activities and reports will provide valuable guidance to geotechnical engineering researchers and especially to researchers involved in earthquake hazard mitigation in the area of siting and geotechnical systems.

这一行动为美国隧道技术委员会提供了持续的支持。该委员会的主要活动与涉及地下洞口稳定性的技术问题有关。该委员会以前的活动促进了国家对地震生命线工程领域的岩土工程研究的关注。在明年，委员会将处理地下隧道施工的几个关键问题，即与地面开挖有关的危险，以及隧道和地下开挖对附近建筑物地基地震反应的影响。委员会的活动和报告将为岩土工程研究人员，特别是在选址和岩土系统领域参与减轻地震灾害的研究人员提供宝贵的指导。
