A Symposium on Structural and Earthquake Engineering: Fundamental and Emerging Technologies

加州大学伯克利分校与地震工程研究大学联盟（CUREE）计划于2002年5月9日至11日在伯克利校园举行一次研讨会，以荣誉雷·克拉夫和约瑟夫·彭齐恩教授为主题。该活动表彰了两位在结构和地震工程领域最有影响力的研究人员和教育工作者所做出的显著贡献。 雷·克拉夫教授和约瑟夫·彭齐恩教授在加州大学伯克利分校的广泛职业生涯包括教学，研究和咨询等课题的有限元法;振动台测试;大坝，桥梁，水箱，海上结构，发电厂和建筑物的地震分析和设计;强地面运动记录的分析;和抗震设计标准的发展。研讨会的特点是一个技术方案，具有广泛的吸引力，为执业工程师，研究人员，教师和学生。该计划将结构和地震工程的历史观点与获奖者开创性作品所代表的主题的最先进的讨论相结合。关注新兴技术，包括与地震工程模拟网络（NEES）和保护装置和传感器相关的技术。该计划对开始从事结构和地震工程职业的初级教师特别有价值，因为它为他们提供了一个机会，让他们有机会对该领域进行四十年的展望，并欣赏两位着名先驱的贡献。他们也有机会听到新兴技术和未来的方向在结构和地震工程领域。有机会在一个诱人的技术环境中与该领域的巨头们交流，这将给初级教师留下深刻的印象。

The University of California at Berkeley together with CUREE (the Consortium of Universities for Research in Earthquake Engineering) have planned a symposium in honor of Emeritus Professors Ray Clough and Joseph Penzien to be held on the Berkeley campus on May 9-11, 2002. The event recognizes the notable contributions made by two of the most influential researchers and educators in structural and earthquake engineering. The wide-ranging careers of Professors Ray Clough and Joseph Penzien at UC Berkeley included teaching, research and consulting on topics such as the finite element method; shake table testing; seismic analysis and design of dams, bridges, water tanks, offshore structures, power plants, and buildings; analysis of strong ground motion records; and development of seismic design criteria.The Symposium features a technical program having broad appeal for practicing engineers, researchers, teachers and students. The program combines historical perspectives of structural and earthquake engineering with state-of-the-art discussions on topics represented by the seminal works of the honorees. Attention is given to emerging technologies, including those related to the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) and to protective devices and sensors.The program is particularly valuable to junior faculty starting careers in structural and earthquake engineering, as it provides them an opportunity to have a four-decade perspective of the field as well as an appreciation of the contributions of the two noted pioneers. They also have an opportunity to hear about emerging technologies and the future directions in the fields of structural and earthquake engineering. The opportunity to mingle with the giants of the field in an inviting technical environment is one that will make a lasting impression on the junior faculty in particular.
