A cooperative translation/publication project will be undertaken on the Report on the Great Tangshan Earthquake. This chinese language report was prepared by the Institute of Engineering Mechanics in Harbin, China which is the major research institute on earthquake engineering in China. This magnitude 7.8 earthquake leveled the city of Tangshan and killed 243,000 people, and industries and city lifelines suffered major disruption. The city was composed mainly of structures that had not been designed for earthquake forces and approximately 80% of the buildings collapsed entirely or in part. Similar vulnerable cities exist in the U.S. and also in Central and South America, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Pakistan, India, and Indonesia. When translated into english, the report on the Tangshan earthquake would be valuable to U.S. engineers, architects, and government officials in reducing seismic vulnerability, and in addition would be valuable to many developing countries. The relevance of the report remains high because the vulnerability of most cities remains high. It is the purpose of the translation project to make available to U.S. readers the information contained in the report and thus to encourage hazard mitigation measures.

合作翻译出版《唐山大地震报告》。本中文报告由中国地震工程的主要研究机构——中国哈尔滨工程力学研究所编写。这场7.8级地震将唐山市夷为平地，造成24.3万人死亡，工业和城市生命线受到严重破坏。这座城市主要由没有抗震设计的建筑物组成，大约80%的建筑物全部或部分倒塌。类似的脆弱城市也存在于美国、中南美洲、意大利、希腊、土耳其、巴基斯坦、印度和印度尼西亚。唐山地震的报告翻译成英文后，对于美国的工程师、建筑师和政府官员来说，在降低地震脆弱性方面将是很有价值的。此外，这对许多发展中国家也很有价值。报告的相关性仍然很高，因为大多数城市的脆弱性仍然很高。翻译项目的目的是向美国读者提供报告中所载的信息，从而鼓励采取减灾措施。
