Fifth U.S.-Japan Workshop on Earthquake Disaster Prevention for Lifeline Systems

该项目的目的是 (1)组织开展第五届 美国--日本地震讲习班 生命线防灾 系统，以及（2）启动联合 美国和美国之间的研究活动 日本研究人员感兴趣 在地震中的表现 的电信系统这 研讨会将在筑波举行， 1992年秋天的日本。 讲习班旨在提供 给研究人员一个机会， 设计师和建筑 专家交流讨论 和想法，对目前的状态- 地震危险性评估技术 为生命线设计 未来的方向应该是 改进现有方法， 什么相互程序之间的 美国和日本可以发起， 最有效的利用 最大化可用信息。 一个美国-日本数据库 抗震性能 电信设施将 开发供美国和 日本调查员。 这个项目是美国的一部分- 日本自然资源（UJNR） 程序.

The purpose of this project is to (1) organize and conduct the Fifth U.S.-Japan Workshop on Earthquake Disaster Prevention for Lifeline Systems, and (2) initiate a joint research activity between U.S. and Japanese investigators interested in the earthquake performance of telecommunication systems. This Workshop will be held in Tsukuba, Japan in the fall of 1992. The Workshop is intended to provide an opportunity for researchers, designers, and construction specialists to exchange discussions and ideas on the current state-of- the-art in seismic risk assessment and design for lifelines, what future directions should be pursued to improve current methods, and what mutual programs between the U.S. and Japan can be initiated so that the most effective use of available information is maximized. A joint U.S.-Japan database on seismic performance of telecommunication facilities will be developed for use by U.S. and Japanese investigators. This project is a part of the U.S.- Japan Natural Resources (UJNR) Program.
