US-USSR Joint Workshop on Earthquake Hazard Mitigation (Moscow: September 17-23, 1990)

美国和苏联的许多地区都面临着 地震威胁 从历史上看，两国都有一个 一些毁灭性的地震，最近的12月 1988年亚美尼亚地震和1989年10月洛马普列塔地震 地震 从美国和苏联科学家那里可以学到很多东西 和工程师参与评估的后果， 事件 灾后救援小组已经互相走访了 我们交换了许多宝贵的信息。 本次研讨会的目的是扩大和深化这一点， 关系，特别是促进长期合作 在这个领域的研究。 研讨会拟讨论的议题 是地基力学（土-结构相互作用，液化， 地面塌陷、山体滑坡和泥石流;发展 新建筑材料的开发和验证; 数学模型;和发展的方法，以加强- 对现有结构进行改造和翻新。 该研讨会由美国国家安全局联合组织 科学院（NAS）和美国科学院 苏联（苏联）。 NAS的参与由 国家科学院/国家研究理事会地震委员会 工程和代表团将由委员会领导 加州研究所的主席乔治豪斯纳说， 技术. 苏联代表团将由博士主持。 V.N.斯特拉霍夫，苏联研究所所长， 地球物理学。 该项目实现了推进 科学知识，使领先的研究人员在 美苏要联合收割机互补 在共同感兴趣的领域做出的努力和能力 在基础科研领域的能力 平等、互惠、互利的基础。

Many regions in the United States and the Soviet Union face earthquake threats. Historically, both countries have had a number of devastating earthquakes, most recently the December 1988 Armenian earthquake and the October 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Much can be learned from US and Soviet scientists and engineers involved in evaluating the consequences of such events. Post-disaster teams have visited each other's country and much valuable information has been exchanged. The objective of this workshop, is to extend and deepen this relationship and specifically to promote long-term cooperative research in this area. Topics to be addressed in the workshop are ground mechanics (soil-structure interaction, liquefaction, ground failures, and landslides and mudslides; development of new construction materials; development and validation of mathematical models; and development of methods for strengthen- ing and retrofitting existing structures. The workshop is being organized jointly by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R. (ASUSSR). The NAS participation is being managed by the NAS/National Research Council Committee on Earthquake Engineering and the delegation will be led by committee chairman George Housner of the California Institute of Technology. The Soviet delegation will be chaired by Dr. V.N. Strakhov, Director of the ASUSSR Institute of the Physics of the Earth. This project fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading researchers in the United States and the U.S.S.R. to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence in the field of basic scientific research on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.
