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

[9525972] Zia美国混凝土学会（ACI）混凝土研究与教育基金会（ConREF）提出了一个关于地震高发地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一个机会，与业主/开发商、保险公司和金融家（贷方）的代表团体交换意见。通过建筑行业的技术和非技术小组之间的对话，研讨会将回顾当前有关混凝土建筑抗震设计和施工的知识和实践，确定高风险地震区域的关键性能要求（除了生命安全考虑之外），并定义为推进设计方法和施工实践所需的研究。根据Northridge之后获得的经验，提议的研讨会将把技术和非技术小组聚集在一起，研究与性能期望有关的关键问题，以及高风险地震地区混凝土建筑的设计和建造成本。预期讲习班将于1995年秋季在南加州举行。工作坊的主要财政支持将由获邀的工业界人士以适当的注册费提供。制定混凝土建筑抗震性能的研究议程。＊＊＊

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. ***
