The Ninth Symposium on Earthquake Engineering, Roorkee, India, December 14-16, 1990, Group Travel Award in Indian Currency

描述：该项目支持10名美国科学家参加将于1990年12月14日至16日在印度鲁尔基举行的第九届地震工程研讨会，该研讨会由鲁尔基大学和印度地震技术学会组织。课程内容包括：工程地震学和地震构造学；microzonation;城市设计与公共政策；损害调查和评估；重力结构;建筑行为;海上结构物;加固建筑物；土壤结构相互作用;还有土和石坝和堤防。预计来自印度、美国、欧洲和日本的与会者将会很多。范围：地震效应是全球关注的问题。美国和印度是在各种地震工程方面进行积极研究的主要国家之一。会议为富有成果的研究成果和思想交流提供了一个良好的论坛。鲁尔基大学设有地震工程系、土木工程系、地质与地球物理系，这些系正在进行研究。鲁尔基工作人员和美国科学家之间的合作研究已经持续了十多年。

Description: This project supports travel of ten U.S. scientists to participate in the Ninth Symposium on Earthquake Engineering to be held in Roorkee, India, December 14-16, 1990 and organized by the University of Roorkee and the Indian society of Earthquake Technology. The sessions will include: engineering seismology and seismotectonics; microzonation; urban design and public policy; survey and evaluation of damages; gravity structures; buildings behavior; offshore structures; retrofitting of structures; soil-structures interaction; and earth and rockfilled dams and embankments. The meeting is expected to be well attended from India, the U.S., Europe and Japan. Scope: Earthquake effects are of global interest. The U.S. and India are among leading countries conducting vigorous research in various earthquake engineering aspects. The conference provides a good forum for a fruitful exchange of research findings and ideas. The University of Roorkee has departments of earthquake engineering, civil engineering, and geology and geophysics where research is being done. Cooperative research between Roorkee staff and U.S. scientists has continued for more than a decade.
