This is an application for an International Travel Grant, which will be used to provide partial funding for 10 U.S. or more researchers to attend the 4th UJNR Workshop on Soil-Structure Interaction, to be held in Tsukuba, Japan in March 2007. This workshop is part of a series of U.S.-Japan workshops on this topic organized under the auspices of the United States−Japan Cooperative Program in Natural Resources (UJNR), a government to government program established in 1964 to promote conservation of marine and terrestrial resources through cooperation in applied science and technology. Intellectual Merit: The purpose of these workshops has been to provide a platform for experts from both countries to present their work, exchange ideas, identify future research needs, and foster collaboration. The topics covered are: (1) current methods of soil-structure interaction and practices in U.S. and Japan ? geotechnical and structural points of view, (2) code provisions and limitations, (3) observed data, (4) observational arrays and testing facilities, (5) recent research results on how to implement those into practice, (6) additional research needs, and (7) additional observational arrays and testing facilities needed. The fourth workshop will enable to continue the tradition of these workshops, and provide a venue for the U.S. researchers to present new developments in resources for and results on research on soil-structure interaction in the U.S. (e.g. NEES and ANSS), learn about such developments in Japan (e.g. E-Defense), and identify potential collaborators. Broader Impacts: Soil-structure interaction is an important problem in earthquake engineering. Related advances in research and technology will contribute towards reduction of loss of life and injuries, and of monetary losses caused by earthquakes. The workshop proceedings will be broadly disseminated. Integration of Research and Education: The papers presented at the Workshop will be published in a CD Rom proceeding, which will be widely distributed free of charge, and as such readily available to be used as educational material for graduate courses in earthquake engineering. Integrating Diversity in NSF Supported Programs: This grant will enable to include in the U.S. team researchers from groups that are underrepresented in earthquake engineering (women and minorities), and early career researchers. The PI herself is a female research faculty.

这是一份国际旅行资助申请，将用于为10名或更多的美国研究人员提供部分资金，以参加将于2007年3月在日本筑波举行的第四届UJNR土-结构相互作用研讨会。 本次研讨会是美国-在美国主持下组织的关于这一专题的日本讲习班−日本自然资源合作计划（Japan Cooperative Program in Natural Resources，简称UJNR）是一个政府间计划，成立于1964年，旨在通过应用科学和技术合作促进海洋和陆地资源的保护。 智力优势：这些研讨会的目的是为两国专家提供一个平台，介绍他们的工作，交流思想，确定未来的研究需求，并促进合作。主要内容包括：（1）土-结构相互作用分析方法的现状及在美国和日本的应用;岩土工程和结构观点，（2）规范规定和限制，（3）观测数据，（4）观测阵列和测试设施，（5）关于如何将其付诸实践的最新研究结果，（6）额外的研究需求，以及（7）额外的观测阵列和测试设施。第四次研讨会将延续这些研讨会的传统，并为美国研究人员提供一个场所，介绍美国土-结构相互作用研究资源和成果的新发展（例如NEES和ANSS），了解日本的此类发展（例如E-Defense），并确定潜在的合作者。 更广泛的影响：土-结构相互作用是地震工程中的一个重要问题。研究和技术方面的相关进展将有助于减少地震造成的人员伤亡和金钱损失。讲习班的记录将广为散发。 研究与教育的结合：研讨会上提出的论文将以光盘形式出版，免费广泛分发，并随时可用作地震工程研究生课程的教材。 在NSF支持的项目中整合多样性：这笔赠款将使美国团队中包括来自地震工程（妇女和少数民族）代表性不足的群体的研究人员和早期职业研究人员。PI本身就是一名女性研究人员。
