China - U.S. Bilateral Workshop on Seismic Codes (China, December 1996)

该项目支持将于1996年12月在中国举行的中美双边抗震规范研讨会。大约有10名来自美国的与会者将出席会议，他们的国际旅费将由国家科学基金会为该项目提供的赠款支付。研讨会在中国境内发生的费用，包括住宿、膳食和当地旅费，将由中国方面支付，中国方面由两个机构代表：国家地震局工程力学研究所和建筑科学研究院地震工程研究所。研讨会的主题扩展到下一代抗震规范，而不仅仅是中国和美国现有抗震规范的比较。美国的参与者将由一个三人指导委员会与NSF项目官员协商后选出。与会者将撰写论文，列入讲习班议事录。一个双边工作组将拟订建议供讲习班全体会议讨论，通过的建议也将列入会议记录。计划由美国和中国的组织者协调，从其他主要国家选出的主要参与者将出席会议;与这些参与者相关的费用以及他们可能撰写的任何论文的安排超出了本提案的范围。这是根据《中美地震合作研究议定书》附件三实施的一个项目。

This project support a China-US Bilateral Workshop on Seismic Codes to be held in China in December of 1996. Approximately ten participants from the United States will attend, and their international travel costs are to be paid from the NSF grant for this project. The costs of the Workshop incurred within China, including lodging, meals, and local travel, are to be paid on the part of China, who are represented by two agencies: The Institute of Engineering Mechanics of the State Seismological Bureau and the Institute of Earthquake Engineering of the Academy of Building Research. The subject of the Workshop extends to a future generation of seismic codes, rather than merely a comparison of existing seismic codes in China and the United States. The American participants will be selected by a three-member Steering Committee, in consultation with the NSF project officer. Participants will write papers to be included in a Proceedings of the Workshop. A bilateral working group will develop recommendations for plenary session discussion at the Workshop, and the recommendations adopted will also be included in the Proceedings. It is planned that selected key participants from other key countries will attend, as coordinated by the American and Chinese organizers; costs associated with those participants and arrangements for any papers they may write are beyond the scope of this proposal. This is a project implemented under the US-China Protocol on Cooperative Earthquake Studies, Annex III.
