Workshop on Performance Expected of Concrete Buildings in High-Risk Seismic Areas, to be held April, 1996

9525972齐亚美国混凝土学会混凝土研究和教育基金会提议举办一个关于高风险地震区混凝土建筑预期性能的研讨会。研讨会的目的是为从事抗震设计和施工的主要研究人员和实践者提供机会，与业主/开发商、保险公司和融资者(贷款人)组成的代表性团体交流想法。通过建筑业技术小组和非技术小组之间的对话，研讨会将审查目前关于混凝土建筑抗震设计和施工的知识和实践，确定高风险地震区的关键性能要求(除了生命安全考虑之外)，并确定为推进设计方法和施工实践所需的研究。拟议的研讨会将根据北岭大学的经验，将技术和非技术小组聚集在一起，审查与高风险地震区混凝土建筑的性能预期与设计和建造成本有关的关键问题。预计该讲习班将于1995年秋季在加利福尼亚州南部举行。研讨会的主要资金支持将由受邀的行业参与者通过适当的注册费提供。将制定混凝土建筑抗震性能研究议程。***

9525972 Zia A workshop on expected performance of concrete buildings in high-risk seismic areas is proposed by the Concrete Research and Education Foundation (ConREF) of the American Concrete Institute (ACI). The objective of the workshop is to provide an opportunity for the leading researchers and practitioners engaged in seismic design and construction to exchange ideas with a representative group of owners/developers, insurers, and financiers (lenders). Through the dialogues between the technical and nontechnical groups of the construction industry, the workshop will review the current knowledge and practice with respect to seismic design and construction of conarete buildings, identify the critical performance requirements for high-risk seismic areas (in addition to life-safety considerations), and define research needed in order to advance design methodology and construction practice. The proposed workshop based on experience gained after Northridge would bring together technical and non-technical groups to examine critical issues related to performance expectations versus design and construction costs for concrete buildings in highrisk seismic areas. It is expected that the workshop will be conducted in southern California in the fall of 1995. Major financial support of the workshop will be provided by the invited industrial participants through appropriate registration fees. A research agenda on seismic performance of concrete buildings will be formulated. ***
