Fourth U.S.-Japan Workshop in Earthquake Disaster Preventionof Lifeline Systems

本项目旨在组织和开发 第四届美国/日本地震灾害研讨会 预防生命线系统。 研讨会将提供机会， 研究人员、设计师和施工人员 专家交流讨论和想法 地震学的最新发展 生命线的风险评估和设计。 在 此外，它将决定未来的方向 以改进现有方法， 建立什么样的相互方案之间的 美国和日本可以发起， 最有效地利用现有信息 最大化。 研讨会将在 1991年夏末在洛杉矶 本次研讨会将对 地震的程序开发 风险缓解计划，因为它将 确定生命线未来研究需求 系统研究。 作为国际 美国和日本之间的关系， 这对双方都有好处， 国家发展生命线 系统抗震设计。

This project is to organize and develop the 4th US/Japan Workshop in Earthquake Disaster Prevention of Lifeline Systems. The workshop will provide an opportunity for researchers, designers, and construction specialists to exchange discussions and ideas on the current state-of-the-art in seismic risk assessment and design for lifelines. In addition it will determine future directions to be pursued to improve current methods, and establish what mutual programs between the U.S. and Japan can be initiated so that the most effective use of available information is maximized. The workshop will be conducted in Los Angeles, in late summer of 1991. This workshop will be of great benefit for the program development of the Earthquake Hazards Mitigation Program as it will identify future research needs in lifeline systems research. As an international activity between the United States and Japan, it will be of mutual benefit to both countries in the development of lifeline system earthquake -resistant design.
