Midwest Regional Workshop on Architectural Research Needs inEarthquake Hazard Mitigation

该项目将组织、召集和报告国家科学基金会关于减轻地震灾害中的建筑研究需求的区域研讨会。研讨会将回顾和分析与一系列减轻地震灾害有关的最新技术建筑和非结构系统的研究问题，与更广泛的土地利用规划问题和实体城市设计问题有关。根据建筑和机械系统(AMS)计划要素的目标，将确定这些相同系统的未来研究需求并确定其优先顺序。作为关于这一专题的三个区域讲习班之一，这次讲习班将侧重于中西部问题。研讨会结果的最终报告将发布给建筑和城市设计研究社区，供NSF用于项目评估和发展。

This project will organize, convene and report on an NSF regionally- based workshop on architectural research needs in earthquake hazard mitigation. The workshop will review and analyze the current state-of-the art in relation to a range of earthquake hazard mitigation research issues in architectural and nonstructural systems, and in relation to broader land-use planning issues and physical urban design issues. Future research needs will be identified and prioritized for these same systems under the goals of the Architectural and Mechanical Systems (AMS) program element. As one of three regional workshops on the topic subject, this workshop will focus on Mid-West issues. A Final Report on Workshop results will be issued for distribution to the architectural and urban design research community and for NSF use in program assessment and development.
