Planning of US-Japan Cooperative Research Program on Full Structural System Testing

美国和日本关于组合和混合结构的地震合作研究NSF 94-154目前已进入最后阶段。该研究计划的目的是获得急需的基本信息，以了解结构的行为，并为复合材料和混合结构制定实用的设计建议和程序。因此，到目前为止，它是在成分和组装体研究方面进行的。该研究计划产生了大量有用的工程信息。然而，对完成联合研究倡议至关重要的完整结构系统的测试工作尚未开展。该项目是根据上一次联合技术协调委员会年会(1998年10月)的建议，强烈要求认真策划全面试验，目的是为美日结构体系全试验及相关研究的美日合作研究项目开展美方的策划工作(与日方的类似工作同时进行)。规划工作将跨越12个月，包括(1)举行两次美国规划小组会议和(2)举行美日联合规划研讨会，以最终敲定该计划的详细建议和计划。

The US-Japan Cooperative Earthquake Research on Composite and Hybrid Structures NSF 94-154 is currently in its final states. The research program was aimed at obtaining much needed basic information to understand the behavior and to develop practical design recommendations and procedures for composite and hybrid structures. Therefore, which was constrated so far on component and subassemblage studies. The research program has produced a wealth of useful engineering information. However, testing work on full structural systems, which is critical for completing the joint research initiative has not been undertaken. This project follows the recommendation of the last annual meeting (October 1998) of the Joint Technical Coordination Committee, which strongly urged a careful planning effort for the full-scale testing.The purpose of this project is to carry out the planning work on the US side (in parallel with similar work on the Japanese side) for the US-Japan cooperative research program on full structural system testing and related studies. The planning effort will span over a period of 12 months, covering (1) holding two meeting of the US planning group and (2) holding a joint US-Japan Planning workshop in order to finalize detailed recommendations and plans for the program.
