Seventh National Conference on Earthquake Engineering (7NCEE)

该奖项为第七届美国全国地震工程会议（7NCEE）提供支持，部分承担管理和发展费用，并使地震工程学科研究生更多地参与会议。这次会议是全国地震工程系列会议的第七次会议。以前的会议在密歇根州的安娜堡举行；斯坦福大学,加州;南卡罗来纳州的查尔斯顿；加州棕榈泉；伊利诺斯州的芝加哥和华盛顿州的西雅图。它们每四年举行一次，在四年一度的世界地震工程会议之间举行。每一次全国会议都是由EERI（地震工程研究所）赞助的，EERI是一个致力于地震工程和地震损失减少的非营利性专业协会。第七届ncee将在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行，将为地震领域所有学科的研究人员和专业从业者提供一个机会，让他们聚集在一起，交流研究成果、设计实践以及影响地震准备、减灾和恢复有效性的组织和政策观点。《论文集》提供了一个有价值的信息库，对未来地震工程的发展至关重要。

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.
