US-PRC Workshop on Protection of Urban Infrastructure and Public Facilities Against Natural and Manmade Disasters

该提案旨在举办一次中美联合研讨会，探讨关键基础设施保护的新研究机会。重点将放在所需的使能技术上，并确定可能的候选技术，以演示和评估这些技术，特别是那些可用于保护人口密集的城市中心的基础设施免受地震和其他自然和人为灾害的技术。 将特别考虑两种类型的城市结构系统：建筑群和交通网络，对地震地面运动和意外和故意爆炸载荷。 本次研讨会由建设部、国家自然科学基金委员会、北京市科学技术委员会和北京市教育委员会在中美地震议定书附件三项目下共同资助。

This proposal is to conduct a US-PRC joint workshop on development of new research opportunities for critical infrastructure protection. The focus will be on needed enabling technologies, and the identification of possible candidates for the purpose of demonstration and evaluation of these technologies, particularly those that can be applied to protect infrastructures against earthquake and other natural and manmade disasters in populated urban centers. Special consideration will be given to two types of urban structural systems :a building complex and a transportation network, against earthquake ground motions and accidental and intentional blast loads. This workshop is jointly supported the Ministry of Construction (MOC), National Natural Science Foundation (NNSF), Beijing Science and Technology Committee (BSTC), and Beijing Municipal Education Commission (BMEC) under the US-PRC Earthquake Protocol Annex III program.
