This project is to support international and travel within the U.S. and living expenses for Professor Haifan Xiang for technical consultations and cooperation on the following research topics: (1) evaluation of structural response under severe earthquake and wind excitation, (2) active and passive controls of structures under severe earthquake and wind excitations. Professor Haifan Xiang is Vice Dean of the College of Structural Engineering, and Director of the Institute of Bridge Design and Research at Tongjie University, Shanghai, China. He has been a faculty member of Tongjie since 1958, rising through various academic ranks to a Ph.D. Supervisory Professor, the highest distinction conferred by the Chinese Ministry of Education. He was awarded the Certificate of State Expert in Bridge Engineering in 1986. He is an Executive Deputy Director of the Chinese National Laboratory for Natural Disaster Prevention, Vice President of the Chinese Wind Engineering Society, a Director on the Executive Board of the Chinese Society of Civil Engineers, and General Secretary of the Institute of Bridge and Structural Engineering of Chinese Society of Civil Engineers. He led the research team at Tongjie that investigated the wind resistance for nearly all the recently constructed long-span bridges in China, including Nanpu Cable-Stayed Bridge, Yanpu Cable-Stayed Bridge, Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, Jiangyin Yangtze River Bridge, Shantou Bay Bridge, and Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge. He is currently a consultant for the designs of three suspension bridges and five cable-stayed bridges in China. Professor Xian will visit the United States for five weeks, with approximately four weeks at the Florida Atlantic University, and the remaining week at the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research and the University of California at Irvine. The research programs in the above- mentioned institutions will be benefited greatly from Professor Xiang's consultation and cooperation.

本项目旨在资助项海帆教授在国际和国内的差旅和生活费，就以下研究课题进行技术咨询与合作：(1)结构在强烈地震和风振作用下的反应评估；(2)结构在严重地震和风振作用下的主动和被动控制。向海帆教授，上海同济大学结构工程学院副院长、桥梁设计研究院院长中国。自1958年以来，他一直是同济大学的一名教员，在不同的学术级别上晋升为博士导师，这是中国教育部授予的最高荣誉。1986年被授予国家桥梁工程专家证书。中国防灾国家实验室常务副主任，中国风工程学会副理事长，中国土木工程师学会理事，中国土木工程师学会桥梁与结构工程学会秘书长。他带领的研究小组在铜街对中国几乎所有新建成的大跨度桥梁进行了风阻调查，包括南浦斜拉桥、雁浦斜拉桥、武汉长江大桥、江阴长江大桥、汕头海湾大桥和九江长江大桥。目前在中国担任三座悬索桥和五座斜拉桥的设计顾问。西安教授将访问美国五周，其中大约四周在佛罗里达大西洋大学，剩下的一周在国家地震工程研究中心和加州大学欧文分校。上述机构的研究项目将从向教授的咨询和合作中受益匪浅。
