U.S/Japan Joint Committee Meeting on Building Codes; U.S China Research Protocol Meeting on Earthquake Engineering; and Japan/China Symposium on EQ Eng Res, Nov. 1-14, 1991

这是一笔国际旅行补助金，用于支持首席调查员参加“美日中国三方会谈”地震工程学术讨论会“，1991年11月4日至11日在哈尔滨，中国，并参加定于11月11日至14日举行的美日抗震规范联委会会议，1991年在夏威夷。三方研讨会由中国工程院工程力学研究所中国主持。它将根据美国-中国关于地震合作研究的议定书附件三实施，美国国家科学基金会的生物和关键系统部是美方的执行机构。联合委员会会议由加州应用技术委员会的Roland Sharpe先生和千叶大学的M.Ozaki教授组织，日本代表两国的抗震建筑规范社区。首席调查员在地震工程和减灾方面有出色的成功研究记录，他是研讨会的特邀演讲人和联合代码委员会的积极成员。这项活动将促进建筑抗震设计和施工的知识和技术基础，并将促进合作研究在这个重要的领域。

This is an international travel grant to support the Principal Investigator's participation in the "U.S.-Japan-China Trilateral Symposium on Earthquake Engineering", scheduled for November 4-11, 1991 in Harbin, China, and also in the U.S.-Japan Joint Committee Meeting on Seismic Codes scheduled for November 11-14, 1991 in Hawaii. The Trilateral Symposium is organized by the Institute of Engineering Mechanics, China. It will be implemented under Annex III of the U.S.-China Protocol on Cooperative Earthquake Studies, for which the Division of Biological and Critical Systems at NSF is the implementing agency of the American side. The Joint Committee Meeting is organized by Mr. Roland Sharpe of the Applied Technology Council of California and Professor M. Ozaki of Chiba University, Japan on behalf of the seismic building code communities in both countries. The Principal Investigator has an outstanding track record of successful research in earthquake engineering and hazard mitigation, and is an invited speaker of the Symposium and an active member of the joint code committee. The activity will advance the knowledge and technological basis for design and construction of buildings against earthquakes and will stimulate cooperative research in this important area.
