Group Travel-U.S. Taiwan Cooperative Research on Dynamic Effects of Structure, July 25-28, 1990

本项目开启了美国和台湾研究人员在结构和岩土力学领域的合作研究。联合研究将集中在三个主要专题领域：(1)利用两国目前记录和积累的地震、风、洪水、滑坡等数据库进行动力概率建模；(2)智能建筑——对未来土木工程实践具有重大影响潜力的新兴研究课题；(3)利用预先进行动力试验的现场试验设施对土工结构体系进行现场试验。这项研究将在国立台湾大学通过联合研讨会和实地调查进行。这项工作预计将综合目前的知识和实践，评估未来的研究需求，并制定两国之间的合作项目。这一行动由工程局的三个项目共同支持：结构和建筑系统项目、地震减灾项目以及自然和人为灾害减灾项目。

This project initiates cooperative research between U.S. and Taiwan researchers in the area of structural and geotechnical dynamics. The joint study will be focused on three major topic areas: (1) probabilistic modeling of dynamic forces utilizing the current data base of earthquakes, winds, floods, slides, etc. recorded and accumulated in both countries, (2) intelligent buildings - an emerging research subject of significant impact potential to future civil engineering practice, and (3) field testing of geotechnical-structure systems utilizing field experimental facilities planned for advance dynamic testings. The research will be conducted at the National Taiwan University through joint workshops and field investigation. The effort is expected to synthesize the current knowledge and practices, assess the future research needs, and develop cooperative projects between the two countries. This action is jointly supported by three programs at the Engineering Directorate: the Structural and Building Systems Program, the Earthquake Hazard Mitigation Program and the Natural and Manmade Hazard Mitigation Program.
