U.S. Panel on Wind and Seismic Effects

该奖项为美国风和地震效应研究小组提供了部分支持。该小组成立于1968年。年度会议在日本和美国轮流举行。该小组开发技术，促进工程设计和施工实践，提高生活质量。该小组由参加9个任务委员会的16个联邦机构组成。任务委员会集中注意具体的国家问题，例如减少地震危险、地下管道、运输和电信系统、结构的修理和改造。任务委员会讲习班和会议的结果在年度联席会议上分享，通常作为会议记录出版。

This award provides partial support for the U.S. Panel on Wind and Seismic Effects. The Panel was created in 1968. Annual meetings alternate between Japan and the U.S. The Panel develops technologies that advance engineering design and construction practices and improve the quality-of-life. The Panel is composed of 16 Federal agencies who participate in nine task committees. The task committees focus on specific national issues, e.g., earthquake hazards reduction, buried pipelines, transportation and telecommunication systems, repair and retrofit of structures. The results of task committee workshops and conferences are shared at the annual joint meeting and usually published as proceedings.
