Site Characterization for Reduction of Disasters' Toll

这一奖项是对一个研讨会的部分支持，该研讨会讨论了减少灾害伤亡的场地特征方面的最新技术。研讨会将于1990年3月29日至30日在加州大学戴维斯分校举行。研讨会将阐述和记录一些问题领域的研究需求，如膨胀、冻胀、污染物迁移、地震对土壤的影响以及近海选址问题。讲习班的成果将用于制定一项关于建立一个研究中心的合作建议，该研究中心的主题是“为减少灾害造成的损失进行现场定性”。

This award is for partial support of a workshop to discuss the current state of the art in site characterization for the reduction of disasters' toll. The workshop will be held at the University of California, Davis on March 29 and 30, 1990. The workshop will formulate and document research needs in a number of problem areas, such as swelling, frost heave, contaminant migration, earthquake effects on soils, and offshore siting problems. The results of the workshop will be used to develop a collaborative proposal for the creation of a research center on "Site Characterization for Reducing Disaster' Toll.
