9602932 Iwan This award supports the participation of 7 US scientists in a US-Japan seminar on Mitigation of Near-Field Earthquake Damage in Urban Areas, to be held in Honolulu, Hawaii from January 5-7, 1998. The co-organizers are Professor Wilfred Iwan of the California Institute of Technology and Professor Kenzo Toki of Kyoto University. The objectives of the seminar are to: identify and record the important lessons learned from the Northridge and Kobe earthquakes as regards near-field ground motions and their effects on buildings; develop a consensus regarding the nature of near-field ground motions and their unique effects on structures of all types; provide guidance for the development of appropriate methods to characterize near-field ground motions for the purpose of structural design; assess the adequacy of current mitigation strategies as they relate to the effects of near- field ground motions; and determine future needs for mitigation research and applications regarding near-field ground motions. Participants are among the most active researchers in the area of earthquake hazard mitigation, and this seminar is expected to establish and nurture collaborative research between US and Japanese scientists who will mutually benefit from these research ties. ***

9602932 Iwan该奖项支持7名美国科学家参加1998年1月5日至7日在夏威夷火奴鲁鲁举行的关于减轻城市地区近场地震破坏的美日研讨会。联合组织者是加州理工大学的Wilfred Iwan教授和京都大学的Kenzo Toki教授。研讨会的目的是：查明和记录北岭地震和神户地震在近场地面运动及其对建筑物影响方面的重要经验教训；就近场地面运动的性质及其对所有类型结构的独特影响达成共识；为为结构设计目的确定近场地面运动特征的适当方法的制定提供指导；评估现行缓解战略在涉及近场地面运动影响方面的充分性；以及确定今后在近场地面运动方面的减缓研究和应用的需要。与会者是减轻地震灾害领域最活跃的研究人员之一，此次研讨会预计将建立和促进美国和日本科学家之间的合作研究，这些科学家将从这些研究联系中互利共赢。***
