This award will support the travel of 6 invited US researchers to attend and present lectures at the workshop on Measures for the Prevention of Total Collapse of Existing Low-Rise Structures, to be held at the Istanbul Technical University (ITU) in Turkey, November 17-20, 2007. The workshop has been organized by the European Laboratory for Structural Assessment (ELSA) and the Structural and Earthquake Engineering Laboratory (STEEL) in Istanbul, Turkey. The purpose of this workshop is to have the leading researchers from several counties discuss innovative techniques and share knowledge and experience related to mitigating the potential catastrophic consequences of strong earthquakes in large urban areas. Six researchers from the US were invited to attend this workshop and present lectures on the workshop topic. The workshop offers the possibility that new, innovative ideas would be developed that could, if validated by research, result in improvements in the safety of existing structures during seismic events. The integrity of existing urban structures, especially low and mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings, is a major concern in many older cities in the world. The development of relatively inexpensive expedient methods of seismic retrofit has the potential to significantly reduce loss of life and economic consequences of major earthquakes.

该奖项将支持6名邀请我们的研究人员参加并在2007年11月17日在土耳其的伊斯坦布尔技术大学（ITU）举行的有关预防现有低层结构总崩溃的措施的讲座和演讲。 火鸡。 该研讨会的目的是让来自几个县的主要研究人员讨论创新技术，并分享与减轻大型城市强烈地震的潜在灾难性后果有关的知识和经验。 邀请了来自美国的六名研究人员参加该研讨会，并就研讨会主题介绍讲座。 该研讨会提供了一种新的创新思想的可能性，如果通过研究验证，则可以改善地震事件中现有结构的安全性。 在世界上许多较老的城市中，现有的城市结构的完整性，尤其是中层和中层的混凝土建筑的完整性，这是一个主要关注的城市。 地震改造的相对廉价权宜方法的发展有可能显着减少重大地震的生命损失和经济后果。
