U. S. Panel on Structural Control Research

1990年2月，在美国国家科学基金会的支持下成立了一个“美国结构控制研究小组”。小组的职责如下：(1)促进关于实地最新发展情况的资料的传送；(2)确定和优先考虑所需的研究和开发；(3)制定该领域分析和实验进展的初步计划；(4)制定性能全尺寸测试与论证计划。美国小组在过去三年中取得的成就包括：(1)召开100人参加的美国结构控制研究全国研讨会；(2)成立7个小组工作组并开展活动；(3)与日本结构控制小组合作；(4)协助NSF结构控制倡议；(5)召开美国-意大利-日本结构控制研讨会；(6)在第十届世界地震工程大会上组织技术会议；(7)为国际结构控制协会（IASC）制定初步计划；(8)参加美、中、日三边结构控制研讨会；(9)参加智能民用基础设施系统相关国际会议；（10）信息发布。该项目为小组今后五年的持续业务提供资金，以执行提案中详述的小组工作计划。小组的主要活动包括：(1)指导委员会及其七个工作组的运作；(2)在智能民用基础设施系统监测和控制领域与国际组织的合作；(3)出版定期通讯；(4)编制结构控制现状和研究需要的技术报告；(5)召开1993年国际结构控制讲习班；(6)成立国际结构控制协会；(7)召开1994年世界结构控制会议；(8)信息传播；(9)智能民用基础设施系统领域的课程开发。

In February 1990, a "U.S. Panel on Structural Control Research" was established under the auspices of the National Science Foundation. The Panel is charged with the following responsibilities: (1) facilitating the transmission of information concerning state-of- the-art developments in the field; (2) identifying and prioritizing needed research and development; (3) developing preliminary plans for analytical and experimental advancement in the field; and (4) developing plans for the performance of full-scale testing and demonstration. Among the accomplishments of the U.S. Panel during the past three years are: (1) Convening of the U.S. National Workshop on Structural Control Research, with 100 Attendees, (2) Establishment and Activities of Seven Panel Working Groups, (3) Collaboration with Japan Structural Control Panel, (4) Assistance with the NSF Structural Control Initiative, (5) Convening the US-Italy-Japan Workshop/Symposium on Structural Control, (6) Organizing Technical Sessions in the Tenth World Conference on Earthquake Engineering, (7) Development of Preliminary Plans for the International Association of Structural Control (IASC), (8) Participation in the US/PRC/Japan Trilateral Workshop on Structural Control, (9) Participation in Numerous International Meetings Concerning Smart Civil Infrastructure Systems, and (10) Information Dissemination. The project provides funding of continuing operations of the Panel over the next five years to implement the work plans of the Panel as detailed in the proposal. The major activities of the Panel include: (1) Operations of the Steering Committee and its Seven Working Groups, (2) Collaboration with International Groups in the Area of Monitoring and Control of Smart Civil Infrastructure Systems, (3) Publications of a Periodic Newsletter, (4) Preparation of a Technical Report on Structural Control Status and Research Needs, (5) Convening the 1993 International Workshop on Structural Control, (6) Establishment of the International Association for Structural Control, (7) Convening the 1994 World Conference on Structural Control, (8) Information Dissemination, and (9) Curriculum Development in the Field of Smart Civil Infrastructure Systems.
