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

目前，隔震正在从研究实验室走向实践的过程中。它在日本得到了热烈的接受，但在美国却不那么受欢迎。美国明显不情愿的原因可能是对这项新技术的最新研究成果和最新发展缺乏认识。该研究项目旨在制定美国国家隔震计划，以便在美国实施基础隔震，传播设计方法，并最终将其纳入建筑规范。该计划的规划将基于应用技术理事会举办的研讨会制定的研究议程，以确定基地孤立情况下未解决的问题和未解决的研究问题。这项研究的目标是制定管理结构、研究方案和技术转让机制，以实现上一次讲习班概述的目标。

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.//
