U.S.-Korea Workshop on New Frontiers in Infrastructural and Seismic Engineering, August 25 - 28, 1999, Seoul, Korea

该项目支持一个关于基础设施和地震工程新领域的美韩联合研讨会。这项支持的资金由CMS部门的减少危害小组和国际部门的美日韩项目共同提供。韩美两国通过双边座谈会或研讨会进行前沿研究的历史由来已久。本次研讨会的目标是：1)评估地震和基础设施工程的理论和实践的现状，并促进不同工程学科之间的交流，这些学科代表了广泛应用的理论和实验研究以及设计；2)鼓励在共同感兴趣和重要的课题上进行合作研究和开发；3)评估韩国民用基础设施研究项目的成果及其在美国工程实践中的实际应用，特别是在减轻自然灾害方面；4)继续建立学术和实践专业团体之间存在的长期双边科学关系。研讨会的会议记录，包括演讲、小组讨论的重点和研讨会决议将以书籍的形式出版，并分发给与会者以及对这一领域感兴趣的个人和机构。

This project supports a joint U.S.-Korea Workshop on New Frontiers in Infrastructural and Seismic Engineering. The funding for the support is provided jointly by the Hazard Reduction Cluster of the CMS Division and the U.S.-Japan Korea Program of the International Division. Korea and the U.S. have a long-standing record of joint frontier research through bilateral symposia/workshops. Objectives of this workshop are: 1) to assess the current state of theory and practice in seismic and infrastructural engineering and to foster communication across a diverse engineering disciplines representing theoretical and experimental research as well as design, for a broad range of applications; 2) to stimulate future cooperative research and development in subjects of common interest and importance; 3) to evaluate the results of Korea's civil infrastructure research program and their practical application to U.S. engineering practice, particularly in mitigating natural hazards; and 4) to continue to build the long-term bilateral scientific relationship existing between the academic and practicing professional communities. Proceedings of the workshop including presentations, highlights of group discussion, and workshop resolutions will be published in book form and distributed to the participants as well as individuals and institutions with an interest in this area.
