Assessment of Wind Engineering Issues in the United States Committee on Natural Disasters

国家研究委员会自然灾害委员会正在建立一个风力工程专家小组，该小组将代表私营部门、标准制定组织以及联邦、州和地方政府机构。目的是评估风力工程研究和应用领域的现状，并为今后的活动提出建议。该小组将审议与过去二十年进行的研究有关的问题；不同学科之间的互动，如气象学、结构工程师、设计师、经济学家等；风力工程本科及研究生学历；以及国际风力工程研究活动等。将编写一份报告，并在私营和公共组织以及专门从事风力工程的专业团体中散发。

The Committee on Natural Disasters, National Research Council, is establishing a panel of experts in wind engineering who will represent the private sector, standard setting organizations, and federal, state and local government agencies. The purpose is to assess the current status of the field of wind engineering research and applications, and to develop recommendations for future activities. The panel will deliberate on issues related to research performed during the past two decades; the interaction between diverse disciplines, e.g., meteorology, structural engineers, designers, economists and others; undergraduate and graduate education in wind engineering; and international wind engineering research activities among other concerns. A report will be produced and disseminated throughout private and public organizations and professional groups specializing in wind engineering.
