United States Strong Motion Program Advisory Committee

9526340 STEPP最近对地震工程和减轻地震灾害的主要需要所作的评估建议设立一个委员会，对美国的强震活动进行概述并提出建议(希金斯，1993年)。这一行动是为了支持该委员会的成立和管理，该委员会将为监督美国和其他国家的强烈动议活动提供一个联络点。该委员会将由来自不同个人强震记录网络的代表以及来自美国学术界和实践界的数据用户组成，委员会定期举行会议。它将确定影响强震数据获取和传播的问题，确定解决这些问题的优先事项，并成立工作组，制定工作文件，提出具体建议采取的行动。需要解决的问题包括强震数据需求、数据处理、通用数据格式化、数据传播机制、仪器需求、获取和传播外国强震数据，以及有待委员会确定的其他问题。委员会各工作组编写的议题文件将在有重点的讲习班上进行审查。讲习班的参加者将从委员会和其他数据用户中挑选。讲习班的会议记录将作为有效、协调的强震数据获取、传播和使用的指导方针。***

9526340 Stepp Recent evaluations of the key needs for earthquake engineering and earthquake hazard mitigation have recommended the establishment of a committee to overview and give advice concerning earthquake strong motion activities in the United States (Higgins, 1993). This action is to support the formation and management of this committee, which will provide a focal point for over-viewing the strong motion activities in the United States and in other countries. This committee is to consist of representatives from the various individual strong motion recording networks and data users from the academic and practicing communities in the U.S., with the committee meeting on a regular basis. It will identify issues affecting strong motion data acquisition and dissemination, set priorities to address the issues, and form working groups to develop working papers with specific recommended actions to be taken. Issues to be addressed include strong motion data needs, data processing, common data formatting, mechanisms for data dissemination, instrumentation needs, acquisition and dissemination of foreign strong motion data, and other issues to be identified by the committee. Issue papers developed by working groups of the committee will be reviewed in focused workshops. Workshop participants will be selected from the committee and additional data users. The proceedings of the workshops will serve as guidelines for effective, coordinated strong motion data acquisition, dissemination and usage. ***
