Development of a U.S. National Program on Seismic Isolation

隔震技术现在正处于从研究走向应用的过程中 实验室付诸实践 它已被热情地接受， 日本，但在美国就少了。 明显不愿意的原因是 在美国，可能是缺乏对最近研究成果的认识， 在实施这项新技术方面的最新进展。 这 一个研究项目是制定一个美国国家地震计划， 在美国实施基础隔震和 传播设计方法及其最终 纳入建筑规范。 该计划的规划将是 根据联合国开发计划署举办的研讨会制定的研究议程， 应用科技理事会，以确定未解决的问题和未解决的 基础隔震的研究问题。 研究的目的是 发展管理结构、研究计划和技术转让 实现上一次研讨会所述目标的机制。//

Seismic isolation is now in the process of moving from the research laboratory into practice. It has been enthusiastically accepted in Japan but less so in the USA. The reasons for the apparent reluctance in the USA could be a lack of awareness of recent research results and recent developments in implementation of this new technology. This research project is to develop a U.S. National Program on Seismic Isolation for the implementation of base isolation in the U.S. and for the dissemination of design methodologies and their eventual incorporation into building codes. The planning for the program will be based on the research agenda developed by the workshop conducted by the Applied Technology Council to identify unsolved problems and unresolved research issues in base isolation. The objective of the research is to develop a management structure, research program and technology transfer mechanism to achieve the goals outlined in the previous workshop.//
