Workshop for Utilization of Research on Engineering and Socio-Economic Aspects of the 1985 Chile and Mexico Earthquakes

1985年3月3日智利7.8级地震，9月19日至20日8.1级和7.5级地震，1985年发生在墨西哥的地震严重影响了人口稠密的大城市地区的工程结构和居民。由美国国家科学基金会赞助的对这些地震的调查取得了令人印象深刻的结果。该项目将作为一种机制，将这些信息传递给美国从事地震设计的专业人员和其他减轻地震危险的专家。应用技术理事会和地震工程研究所将为NSF的研究人员、美国从业人员和其他专家组织一个研讨会：(1)总结和审查NSF的成果-赞助对这些地震的调查；(2)找出这些研究结果所揭示的现行实务标准的不足之处；(3)查明将对减轻地震灾害政策和程序产生影响的其他经验教训；(4)为改进实践标准和其他减轻地震灾害活动制定建议，以及(5)确定研究需求并对其进行排序。

The magnitude-7.8 March 3, 1985 earthquake in Chile and the magnitude-8.1 and magnitude-7.5 September 19-20, 1985 earthquakes in Mexico significantly affected engineered structures in and inhabitants of large densely populated urban areas. National Science Foundation- sponsored investigations of these earthquakes have yielded impressive results. This project will serve as a mechanism to transfer this information to practicing seismic design professionals and other earthquake hazard mitigation specialists in the United States. Applied Technology Council and the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute will organize a workshop for NSF-researchers and U.S. practitioners and other specialists to: (1) summarize and review the results of the NSF- sponsored investigations of these earthquakes; (2) identify deficiencies in existing standards of practice revealed by these research findings; (3) identify other lessons that have been learned that would impact earthquake hazard mitigation policies and procedures; (4) develop recommendations for improved standards of practice and other earthquakes hazard mitigation activities, and (5) identify and rank research needs.
