The Loma Prieta, California, Earthquake of October 17, 1989---Performance of the Built Environment

在1989年加州洛马普里塔地震后，国会通过一项特别补充拨款，其中包括支持对该事件影响的研究和记录的资金。这笔钱是通过美国国家科学基金会和美国地质勘探局的联合同行评审小组发放给调查人员的。每个奖项的规定是，调查人员必须为一份关于地震的特别报告做出贡献，该报告将作为地震的最终报告。因此，这份报告应该作为未来几代科学家、工程师和社会科学家对地震的主要参考。该奖项为报告中关注建筑环境性能的部分提供出版资金，这部分研究主要由美国国家科学基金会的地震减灾计划支持。这是NSF和美国地质调查局的合作成果。＊＊＊

9712658 Holzer After the 1989 Loma Prieta, California earthquake, Congress appropriated funds through a special supplement that included money to support research and documentation on the effects of that event. This money was awarded to investigators through joint NSF/USGS peer review panels. A stipulation in each award was that investigators contribute to a special report on the earthquake that would serve as the definitive report on the earthquake. Thus this report should serve as the major reference on the earthquake for future generations of scientists, engineers, and social scientists. This award provides funding for publishing that part of the report focusing on the performance of the built environment, which is the portion of the research supported primarily through NSF's Earthquake Hazard Mitigation Program. This is a collaborative effort between NSF and the U.S. Geological Survey. ***
