本次研讨会的目的是 讨论岩土工程研究 评估的需要， 减轻对环境的损害 基础设施， 强烈的地面震动。 基础设施指的是 交通系统，滨水区 结构，挡水 例如土坝的结构， 地下结构，以及 一般而言，任何建筑物或 的土壤。 损失 地震基础设施 造成了重大的破坏 初始分数 建筑费用。 评估和减轻损害 到基础设施包括 识别潜在损害， 基础设施造成的大 地震，以及 研究需要减少这些 通过改进设计和 施工方法 特定 重点是核查这些 设计和施工方法。 它的动机是这样的问题， 如：如果发生8级地震， 地震发生时， 估计损失 基础设施？ 是 现行分析方法 足以评估潜在的 大震损坏 地震，并提供一个 经济加固法 基础设施？ 这些 问题可以得到解答 只有当程序 用于分析的数据已被 验证 本次研讨会将以 将来自 最近的研讨会， 这一更广泛的具体方面 防震减灾 倡议 它将被保留 1992年2月4日至5日， 加州戴维斯大学。

The aim of this workshop is to discuss the geotechnical research needs for the assessment and mitigation of damage to the infrastructure resulting from strong ground shaking. Infrastructure refers to transportation systems, waterfront structures, water retaining structures such as earth dams, underground structures, and in general, any structure built on or of soils. Losses in the infrastructure due to earthquake damage has been a significant fraction of the initial construction costs. Assessment and mitigation of damage to the infrastructure involves identifying the potential damage to the infrastructure caused by large earthquakes, as well as the research needed to reduce these losses through improved design and construction methods. A particular focus is on verification of these design and construction methods. It is motivated by questions such as: In the event of a magnitude 8 earthquake occurring, can an estimate be made of the damage to the infrastructure? Are the current methods of analysis adequate to evaluate the potential damage due to a large magnitude earthquake and to provide an economic method for strengthening the infrastructure? These questions can be answered effectively only if the procedures used for analysis have been verified. This workshop will build upon, and bring together, the results from recent workshops which addressed particular aspects of this broader earthquake hazard mitigation initiative. It will be held on February 4-5, 1992 at the University of California at Davis.
