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

该项目的目的是：(1)组织和举办第五届美日生命线系统防震研讨会；(2)发起美国和日本研究人员对电信系统的地震性能感兴趣的联合研究活动。这个讲习班将于1992年秋天在日本筑波举行。研讨会旨在为研究人员、设计师、与建筑专家就当前地震风险评估和生命线设计的最新技术、改进现有方法的未来方向进行讨论和交流。以及美日之间可以启动哪些共同项目，以最大限度地有效利用现有信息。美日将共同开发一个关于电信设施抗震性能的数据库，供美国和日本的调查人员使用。该项目是美日自然资源（UJNR）计划的一部分。

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.
