U.S./P.R.C. Workshop on Experimental Methods in Earthquake Engineering

本项目将在上海同济大学组织召开中美地震工程实验方法研讨会，中国，1992年5月。该项目将为讲习班的组织、讲习班会议记录的印刷以及九名美国与会者的旅费提供支助。中国的当地费用将由中华人民共和国赞助商(同济大学和中国建筑科学研究院)支付。研讨会的目的是将两国的主要专家聚集在一起，以(A)评估实验方法，(B)讨论改进结构实验研究的现实性、可靠性和有用性的创新方法，以及(C)确定改进地震工程实验方法所需的未来发展。研讨会将由全体陈述会议和工作组会议组成，在这些会议上，较小的小组将集中讨论实验的具体主题研究。这是一个由美国/中华人民共和国S和T；T《地震研究议定书》附件III支持的项目。

This project is to organize and convene a U.S./P.R.C. Workshop on Experimental Methods in Earthquake Engineering to be held at Tongji University in Shanghai, China, in May 1992. The project will provide support for the organization of the workshop, printing of workshop proceedings, and for travel expenses of nine U.S. participants. Local expenses in China will be covered by the P.R.C. sponsors (Tongji Univeristy and China Academy of Building Sciences). The purpose of the workshop is to bring together leading experts from the two countries to (a) assess the state-of-the-knowledge in experimental methods, (b) discuss innovative methods that improve the realism, reliability and usefulness of experimental research on structures, and (c) identify future developments needed to improve experimental methods in earthquake engineering. The workshop will consist of plenary presentation sessions and working group sessions in which smaller groups will focus on specific topics of experimental research. This is a project supported under the U.S./P.R.C. S&T Protocol on Earthquake Studies, Annex III.
