Workshop on Contrasts in Stability Design Specifications

该奖项提供了部分支持的对比研讨会， 设计规范在世界各地，涉及到稳定性 金属结构。 稳定性和地震荷载专家 来自世界六个主要区域的机构将参加这次讲习班。 讨论将集中在稳定性条款，以确定原因 他们之间的差异。 为这次研讨会做了大量准备 已就现有的和拟议的 每个参与区域对各种主题的规格。 这一努力应导致对美国的修订建议 规格，通过利用已经发生的进展， 世界其他地区，特别是在结构性反应方面 地震的力量。

This award provides partial support for a workshop on the contrasts in design specifications throughout the world that relate to the stability of metal structures. Specialists in stability and in seismic loading of structures, from 6 major regions of the world, will attend this workshop. Discussion will be focused on stability provisions to determine reasons for differences between them. Extensive preparation for this workshop has resulted in production of reports on existing and proposed specifications from each participating region for various topics. The effort should lead to recommendations for revisions to the USA specifications, by taking advantage of advances that have taken place in other parts of the world, especially with respect to structural response to earthquake forces.
