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大学研究联盟(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，以纪念荣誉退休教授雷·克劳夫和约瑟夫·彭齐恩。该活动表彰了两位在结构和地震工程方面最有影响力的研究人员和教育工作者所做出的显著贡献。Ray Clough教授和Joseph Penzien教授在加州大学伯克利分校从事的广泛职业包括：有限元方法；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；强地震动记录分析；以及地震设计标准的制定。该计划结合了结构和地震工程的历史观点，以及对获奖者的开创性作品所代表的主题的最先进的讨论。该课程关注新兴技术，包括与地震工程模拟网络(NEES)相关的技术以及保护设备和传感器。该课程对于刚开始从事结构和地震工程职业生涯的初级教员尤其有价值，因为它为他们提供了一个机会，让他们有机会对该领域40年的前景进行展望，并欣赏这两位著名的先驱所做的贡献。他们还有机会了解结构和地震工程领域的新兴技术和未来发展方向。在诱人的技术环境中与该领域的巨人打交道的机会尤其会给初级教员留下持久的印象。

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.
