This action is to support the Third U.S.-Japan Workshop on Soil-Structure Interaction, to be held in California early in 2004. This workshop is organized under the auspices of the U.S.-Japan Cooperative Program in Natural Resources (UJNR) Panel on Wind and Seismic Effects. The UJNR was created in 1964 with the objective of exchanging information on research, as well as scientists and engineers, in the area of natural resources, for the benefit of both countries. The Panel on Wind and Seismic Effects was established in 1969. The purpose of these workshops has been to provide a platform to gather the experts in the field from both countries, to present their work, exchange ideas, identify future research needs, and discuss collaboration.This workshop will focus on soil-structure interaction, and will benefit from two significant developments: The initiation of NSF George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES), and the initiation of the Advanced National Seismic Systems (ANSS) by United States Geological Survey (USGS). The ANSS will advance and modernize the national, regional and urban earthquake monitoring and rapid post-earthquake information delivery process. Both of these complementary national initiatives explicitly address the problem of soil-structure interaction.Soil-structure interaction is a complex problem at the intersection of three disciplines: structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, and engineering seismology. Observations have shown that soil-structure interaction can affect significantly the performance of structures during strong earthquake shaking. Progress in the understanding and modeling of this phenomenon will lead to improvements in building design practices, and to safer construction and the reduction of loss of life and of economic losses from earthquakes.

这一行动是为了支持第三次美国- 2004年初在加州举行的日本土壤-结构相互作用讲习班。 本次研讨会是在美国-日本自然资源合作计划（UJNR）风和地震效应小组。 UJNR成立于1964年，目的是为了两国的利益，在自然资源领域交流研究信息以及科学家和工程师。 风和地震影响问题小组成立于1969年。 这些研讨会的目的是提供一个平台，聚集来自两国的该领域的专家，介绍他们的工作，交流思想，确定未来的研究需求，并讨论合作。小布朗地震工程模拟网络（NEES）和美国地质调查局（USGS）发起的高级国家地震系统（ANSS）。 ANSS将推进国家、区域和城市地震监测和震后快速信息传递进程并使之现代化。 这两个互补的国家倡议明确解决土-结构相互作用的问题。土-结构相互作用是一个复杂的问题，在三个学科的交叉：结构工程，岩土工程和工程地震学。 观测表明，土-结构相互作用对结构在强震作用下的性能有着重要的影响。 对这一现象的理解和建模方面的进展将导致建筑设计实践的改进，以及更安全的建筑和减少地震造成的生命损失和经济损失。
