The objective of this research program is to evaluate the geotechnical aspects of the Armenia earthquake of 7 December 1988. Every case history such as this one has the potential for revealing new or unexpected phenomena which could qualitatively change the thinking about earthquake effects. The research activities focus on three areas of interest: (1) analysis of ground motion, (2) site effects upon ground motions and building damages, and (3) other geotechnical aspects including liquefaction, slopes, highway and railway embankments, retaining walls, and pipelines. The major contributions of this research are expected to include: (1) A comprehensive documentation of case history data that will be useful in geotechnical earthquake engineering research and practice, (2) Evaluation of the applicability and/or validity of current analytical procedures used in geotechnical earthquake engineering, and (3) Enhancement of current knowledge and understanding of near- and far-field ground motions and their effects on soils and structures.

这项研究计划的目的是 评估的岩土工程方面的 1988年12月7日亚美尼亚地震。 每 像这样的案例历史 揭示新的或意外的可能性 这些现象可能会发生质的变化 对地震影响的思考 研究活动集中在三个领域 感兴趣的：（1）地面运动的分析， (2)场地对地面运动的影响， 建筑物损坏，以及（3）其他岩土工程 包括液化，斜坡， 高速公路和铁路挡土 墙和管道。 本研究的主要贡献是 预计将包括：（1）全面的 记录病历数据， 可用于岩土地震 工程研究与实践，（2） 评估适用性和/或 现行分析方法的有效性 用于岩土地震工程， （3）增进现有知识， 了解近场和远场地面 运动及其对土壤的影响 结构.
