U.S.-Japan Joint Panel on Wind and Seismic Effects

美日风和地震效应联合小组的参与为美日两国对地震和风对结构的影响感兴趣的机构提供了一个独特的工具，可以在研究方面进行合作，交换技术数据和信息，并为两国的利益交换研究人员。此外，该小组通过密切协调在美国和日本开展的工作，提供了利用有限研究资源的机会，以避免重复工作。

Participation in the US-Japan Joint Panel on Wind and Seismic Effects offers a unique vehicle for U.S. and Japanese agencies interested in seismic and wind effects on structures to collaborate on research, exchange technical data and information, and exchange researchers for the benefit of both countries. Further, the Panel provides the opportunity to leverage limited research resources by closely coordinating work conducted in the U.S. and Japan to avoid duplication of effort.
