9501796 Feng The project will involve the application of new technologies to the construction and retrofit of civil infrastructure systems, specifically, high-rise buildings and bridges. These new technologies will be applied to reduce the hazards posed by wind and earthquakes on these structures with the ultimate objective of improving public safety and reducing both functional and financial losses. Two projects entitled "Innovative Vibration Control Systems for Buildings" and "Seismic Protective Systems for Bridges" were chosen for study during the award period. Both will present significant technical and theoretical challenges common to interdisciplinary civil infrastructure research, and both will involve collaborative efforts with industry, government and allied disciplines. The result of these studies should yield significant contributions to the field of civil engineering as well as lasting societal benefit. The educational portion of this project will address the need to develop innovative and interdisciplinary civil engineering curricula. The main features of the plan are to develop new curricula and upgrade the traditional curricula to reflect the latest scientific and technological advances, design new educational modules which effectively integrate classroom instruction with research experience, introduce both undergraduate and graduate students to interdisciplinary research and encourage field and experimental study. The success of these efforts will enrich the educational experience of students at all levels, attract promising candidates to the field of civil engineering and produce capable and innovative engineers. ***

9501796冯该项目将涉及新技术的应用，以建设和改造民用基础设施系统，特别是高层建筑和桥梁。 这些新技术将用于减少风和地震对这些结构造成的危害，最终目标是改善公共安全，减少功能和经济损失。 两个名为“建筑物的创新振动控制系统”和“桥梁的地震保护系统”的项目被选中进行研究。 两者都将提出跨学科民用基础设施研究所面临的重大技术和理论挑战，并且都将涉及与工业，政府和相关学科的合作努力。 这些研究成果将对土木工程领域做出重大贡献，并产生持久的社会效益。 该项目的教育部分将满足开发创新和跨学科土木工程课程的需要。 该计划的主要特点是，制定新的课程并更新传统课程，以反映最新的科学和技术进展，设计新的教育单元，有效地将课堂教学与研究经验结合起来，让本科生和研究生进行跨学科研究，并鼓励实地研究和实验研究。 这些努力的成功将丰富各级学生的教育经验，吸引有前途的候选人到土木工程领域，并产生有能力和创新的工程师。 ***
