U.S.-Korea Joint Seminar on Civil Infrastructure System (CIS) Research, Seoul, Korea, September 25-28, 1995

小行星9512465 该奖项提供资金，允许加州大学伯克利分校地震工程系名誉教授Joseph Penzien博士与韩国科学技术高级研究所（KAIST）土木工程系Chang-Koon Choi教授进行美国-韩国民用基础设施系统研究联合研讨会。 这一联合研讨会将于1995年9月25日至28日在韩国首尔举行。 14名美国科学家/工程师的参与将得到该奖项的支持。联合研讨会将有几个主要的兴趣领域，包括以下：结构分析和设计;更好的结构材料;运输系统;隧道和地下结构;生命线系统;传感，监测和控制;管理，维护和修复;以及社会和经济考虑。 CIS研究是NSF的七大战略研究领域之一。 这是一个日益重要的领域，特别是在东亚，那里的基础设施发展预计将与日益增长的经济实力保持同步。 PI和他的韩国合作者非常有资格组织和举办这样的联合研讨会。 两人都是以学术和专业成就享誉国际的顶级学者。 PI自1977年以来一直是美国国家工程院的成员。 Choi博士最近获得了韩国政府颁发的著名的国家工程奖章。 这两个合作者都成功地组织了过去的国际会议。 该项目与美国的目标有关-韩国合作科学计划，旨在通过科学信息、思想、技能和技术的交流，以及通过在共同感兴趣和互利的问题上的合作，提高美国和韩国科学家和工程师之间的合作水平。 韩国的参与得到了韩国科学与工程基金会（KOSEF）的支持。 其他东亚参与者将得到其他来源的支持。 ***

9512465 Penzien This award provides funds to permit Dr. Joseph Penzien, Professor Emeritus, Department of Earthquake Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, to conduct with Professor Chang-Koon Choi, Department of Civil Engineering, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), a U.S.-Korea Joint Seminar on Civil Infrastructure System (CIS) Research. This joint seminar will be held in Seoul, Korea, September 25-28, 1995. The participation of fourteen U.S. scientists/engineers will be supported under this award. The joint seminar will have several major interest areas including the following: structural analysis and design; better performing structural materials; transportation systems; tunnel and underground structures; lifeline systems; sensoring, monitoring and control; management, maintenance, and rehabilitation; and social and economic considerations. CIS research is one of NSF's seven primary strategic research areas. It is an area of increasing importance, especially in East Asia where infrastructure development is expected to keep pace with growing economic power. The PI and his Korean collaborator are exceptionally well qualified to organize and conduct such a joint seminar. Both are top scholars who are internationally renowned for their academic and professional achievements. The PI has been a member of the National Academy of Engineering since 1977. Dr. Choi recently received the prestigious National Engineering Medal awarded by the Korean government. Both collaborators have successfully organized past international meetings. This project is relevant to the objectives of the U.S.-Korea Cooperative Science Program which seeks to increase the level of cooperation between U.S. and Korean scientists and engineers through the exchange of scientific information, ideas, skills, and techniques and through collaboration on problems of mutual interest and benefit. Korean participation is supported by the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF). Other East Asian participants will be supported from other sources. ***
