U.S.-P.R.C. Cooperative Research on Seismic Resistance of High-Rise Steel Building Structures.

这是美国与中国合作的项目，旨在研究钢箱柱在双轴弯曲和压缩组合作用下的滞回性能。此外，还对混凝土外包板的抗剪强度和抗风钢框架的抗震要求进行了研究。其目的是开发结构构件的滞回模型，以便纳入非弹性动力分析程序。这项研究将由利哈伊大学和同济大学的教职员工和学生积极参与，是《中美地震议定书，附件三》项目的一部分。

This is a US-China cooperative project to conduct research on the hysteretic behavior of steel box columns subjected to combined bi-axil bending and compression. The cyclic shear resistance of concrete encased steel plate panels and seismic requirement of steel frames designed for wind resistance are also investigated. The objective is to develop hysteretic models for structural elements for incorporation into an inelastic dynamic analysis program. The research will involve active participation of faculty members and students of both Lehigh and Tongji universities and is a part of "US-PRC Earthquake Protocol, Annex III" program.
