Workshop on Repair and Retrofit of Existing Structures

对既有结构进行抗震修复和改造是防震减灾的重要内容。应用适当的维修和改造程序可以挽救损坏的结构，并升级现有结构以提高抗震能力，从而潜在地节省资源和生命。这个研究项目将是一个研讨会，为研究人员、设计师和监管官员提供一个交流想法和讨论当前研究的机会。其目的是评估美国和日本的最新水平，并为未来的研究活动提供一个需要的声明。研讨会的会议记录将在美日自然资源合作计划(UJNR)的美国风力和地震影响小组(UJNR)下进行。对于为期一年的完整研究项目，建议给予奖励。首席调查员资历很高，该机构提供了极好的支持设施。

Repair and retrofit of existing structures to resist seismic events is important to Earthquake Hazard Mitigation. Application of the proper repair and retrofit procedures can save damaged structures and upgrade existing structures for high seismic resistance; thus potentially saving resources and lives. This research project will be a workshop to provide an opportunity for researchers, designers, and regulatory officials to exchange ideas and discuss current research. The aim is to assess the state-of-the-art in the United States and Japan and to provide a statement of need for future research activities. A proceedings of the workshop will be published., This will be carried out under the U.S. Panel on Wind and Seismic Effects of the U.S.-Japan Cooperative Program in Natural Resources (UJNR). An award is recommended for the one-year complete research project. The principal investigator is highly qualified and the institution provides excellent support facilities.
