Seventh National Conference on Earthquake Engineering (7NCEE)

该奖项为第七届美国地震工程全国会议提供支持，7NCEE部分承担行政和开发费用，并使更多的研究生参与地震工程学科的会议成为可能。该会议是地震工程系列国家会议中的第七届会议。以前的会议已在密歇根州的安阿伯、加州的斯坦福大学、南卡罗来纳州的查尔斯顿、加州的棕榈泉、伊利诺斯州的芝加哥和华盛顿的西雅图举行。它们每四年举行一次，在四年一次的世界地震工程大会的中间时间。第七届全国地震工程学术会议将在马萨诸塞州的波士顿举行，将为地震领域各学科的研究人员和专业人员提供一个聚会和交流研究成果、设计实践、以及影响地震防备、减灾和恢复有效性的组织和政策观点。会议记录提供了一个有价值的信息库，对地震工程的未来发展至关重要。

This award provides support for the Seventh U.S. National Conference on Earthquake Engineering, 7NCEE by partially underwriting the administrative and development costs, and to make possible increased participation in the conference of graduate students in earthquake engineering disciplines.The Conference is the seventh in a series of national conferences on earthquake engineering. Previous conferences have been held in Ann Arbor, Michigan; Stanford, California; Charleston, South Carolina; Palm Springs, California; Chicago, Illinois, and Seattle, Washington. They are held every four years, midway in time between the dates of the quadrennial World Conferences on Earthquake Engineering. Each of the national conferences has been sponsored by EERI, the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, a non-profit professional society devoted to earthquake engineering and earthquake loss reduction.The 7NCEE will be held in Boston, Massachusetts and will provide an opportunity for researchers and professional practitioners, in all the disciplines in the earthquake field, to come together and exchange research results, design practices, and organizational and policy perspectives that influence the effectiveness of earthquake preparedness, mitigation, and recovery. The Proceedings provide a valuable repository of information, critical to the future advancement of earthquake engineering.
