Earthquakes and Architects: A State-of-Practice Knowledge Base

这项研究工作将开发一个关于建筑有效抗震设计的实践状态知识库，专门针对大学的实习建筑师和教职员工。建筑学院。尽管在过去十年中在该主题领域产生了大量新信息，但尚未系统地将其发展成为一个全面、最新和有用的信息库。该项目将通过一系列相互关联的任务生成这一信息库，这些任务将：*收集和评论关于抗震设计的建筑方面的实践状况数据库，专注于过去10年发展的信息；*找出这个数据库中的差距；*进行研究，以填补那些可以在项目范围和时间范围内填补的差距；*为解决那些需要较长期努力的主题提出建议；*编写一系列针对特定主题的最终报告，这些报告将构成关于建筑方面的第一个全面知识库十多年来的抗震设计。该项目开发的信息将大大增加该主题领域的知识库，从AIA和该专业最近的活动来看，将有效地转移到执业建筑师，教职员工和学生。

This research effort will develop a state-of-practice knowledge base on effective seismic design of buildings specifically directed at an audience of practicing architects and faculty in university-based schools of architecture. Although a great deal of new information has been generated in the subject area over the last decade, it has not been systematically developed into a comprehensive, up to date, and useful information base. The project will generate this information base through an interrelated series of tasks which will: * assemble and critique a state-of-practice data base on the architectural aspects of seismic design, concentrating on information developed over the last 10 years; * identify gaps within this data base; * conduct research to address those gaps that can be filled within the scope and time frame of the project; * develop recommendations for addressing those topics requiring longer term efforts; * develop a series of subject-specific final reports which will constitute the first comprehensive knowledge base on the architectural aspects of seismic design available in over a decade. The information developed by this project will constitute a significant addition to the knowledge base in the subject area and, judging from recent activities within the AIA and the profession, will be effectively transferable to practicing architects, faculty and students.
