Interpretation and Dissemination of Phase I and II Test Results for the U.S.-Japan Full Scale Test Structure (Steel)

美日合作研究项目全尺寸钢结构的第一阶段和第二阶段试验最近已完成。日本目前正在对第一阶段测试结果进行解释和分析。日本研究人员不会对第二阶段的测试结果进行重要的分析，而且第一阶段分析的重点分析可能不适合美国从业者，因为美国和日本的实践有很大的不同。从美国的角度分析第一阶段和第二阶段的试验结果；这些结果与美国的实践相关联，并为抗震设计和未来的研究提出了适当的建议；这些结果被传播到执业行业。在本研究开始后6个月内编写一份临时报告，以迅速传播一般检测结果和结论。在24个月结束时准备一份更详细的最终报告。

The Phase I and II tests of the full-scale steel structure of the U.S.-Japan Cooperative Research Program were recently completed. Interpretation and analysis of the Phase I test results are now in progress in Japan. Japanese researchers will not be performing significant analysis of the test results for Phase II, and the emphasis of the analysis of the Phase I analysis may not be suitable for U.S. practitioners, because U.S. and Japanese practices are quite different. The Phase I and Phase II test results are analyzed from a U.S. perspective; these results are correlated to U.S. practice and appropriate recommendations are developed for seismic design as well as future research; and these results are disseminated to the practicing profession. An interim report is prepared within 6 months of the start of this study to quickly disseminate general test results and conclusions. A more detailed final report is prepared at the end of 24 months.
