A Program to Maximize Learning from Destructive Earthquakes

该奖项是为了延续地震工程研究所（EERI）的项目，最大限度地从破坏性地震（LFE）中学习。地震后立即进行的调查提高了对地震影响的技术知识，并提供了重要的新信息，有助于改进建筑实践，从而有助于减少地震损失。EERI从地震中学习项目的范围将继续包括三个主要活动：1)进行震后实地调查；2)为震后现场调查提供信息交流中心；3)通过公开简报和特别报告传播经验教训。EERI将获得关于地震对建筑环境的影响以及在社会领域中随之而来的后果的越来越集中的信息；记录这些调查的结果；改进今后进行调查的程序和指导方针；并扩大向研究人员、执业工程师和其他关心减少未来地震损失的人传播经验教训。

This award is for the continuation of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute's (EERI) Program to Maximize Learning from Destructive Earthquakes (LFE). Conduct of immediate post-earthquake investigations has improved technical knowledge of earthquake effects and has provided significant new information leading to improved building practices, thereby contributing to the reduction of earthquake losses. The scope of the EERI Learning from Earthquakes Program will continue to involve three principal activities: l) Conducting post-earthquake field investigations; 2) Providing a clearinghouse for post-earthquake field investigations; and 3) Disseminating the lessons learned through public briefings and special reports. EERI will obtain increasingly focused information about the effects of earthquakes on the built environment and the concomitant ramifications in the societal arena; document findings from those investigations; improve procedures and guidelines for conducting future investigations; and broaden the dissemination of lessons learned to researchers, practicing engineers, and others concerned about reducing future earthquake losses.
