U.S. Panel on Wind and Seismic Effects

该奖项为美国风和地震影响专门委员会提供了部分支持。该小组成立于1968年。年度会议在日本和美国轮流举行。该小组开发的技术可以促进工程设计和施工实践，并提高生活质量。该小组由参加九个任务委员会的16个联邦机构组成。这些任务委员会侧重于具体的国家问题，例如，减少地震灾害、地下管道、交通和电信系统、建筑物的维修和改造。任务委员会讲习班和会议的成果在年度联席会议上分享，通常作为会议记录公布。

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.
