0303880BardetThis award supports the participation of American scientists and engineers in a U.S.-Japan joint seminar on earthquake-resistant design of lifelines facilities and countermeasures against soil liquefaction to be held in Tokyo, Japan. The co-organizers are Professor Jean-Pierre Bardet at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and Professor Masanori Hamada at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan. The meeting will bring together research scientists from the U.S. and Japan, two countries where important and exciting progress in this area of science is being undertaken. During past earthquakes, soil liquefaction has repeatedly damaged lifelines (gas, water and electric utility lines) and foundations of bridges and highway overpasses. There has been much research undertaken on the effects of liquefaction-induced deformation on foundations and lifelines systems in the 1994 Northridge and 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquakes. This resulted in proposed engineering solutions that mitigate the devastating effects of soil liquefaction in future earthquakes. These findings will be discussed, as they are critical to the implementation of performance-based design in geotechnical and structural engineering in the United States and Japan. The meeting will then define directions for future research in geotechnical earthquake engineering.The co-organizers have complementary scientific expertise in the field. This enables them to evaluate and attract the best scientists and engineers to participate. The seminar is expected to yield results that will impact not only engineering practice but also fundamental research in engineering. The seminar organizers have made a special effort to involve postdocs, graduate students and undergraduate students as both participants and observers. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in the field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. Following the seminar the organizers plan to establish a workshop web page. Conference proceedings will be published on this web site.

0303880Bardet该奖项支持美国科学家和工程师参加在日本东京举行的关于生命线设施抗震设计和土壤液化对策的美日联合研讨会。 联合组织者是洛杉矶南加州大学的 Jean-Pierre Bardet 教授和日本东京早稻田大学的 Masanori Hamada 教授。 这次会议将汇集来自美国和日本的研究科学家，这两个国家正在这一科学领域取得重要而令人兴奋的进展。 在过去的地震中，土壤液化曾多次损坏生命线（天然气、水和电力线路）以及桥梁和高速公路立交桥的基础。 关于 1994 年北岭地震和 1995 年兵库县南部地震中液化引起的变形对地基和生命线系统的影响，人们进行了大量研究。 由此提出了减轻未来地震中土壤液化破坏性影响的工程解决方案。 我们将讨论这些发现，因为它们对于美国和日本岩土和结构工程中基于性能的设计的实施至关重要。 会议随后将确定岩土地震工程未来的研究方向。协办者在该领域拥有互补的科学专业知识。 这使他们能够评估并吸引最优秀的科学家和工程师参与。 该研讨会预计将产生不仅影响工程实践而且影响工程基础研究的成果。 研讨会组织者特别努力让博士后、研究生和本科生作为参与者和观察员。与该领域的日本专家交换想法和数据将使美国参与者能够推进自己的工作，并为未来的合作项目奠定基础。 研讨会结束后，组织者计划建立一个研讨会网页。 会议论文集将在此网站上发布。
