Performance of Masonry Structures in the Northridge, California Earthquake of January 17, 1994 and Dahshour Egypt Earthquake of October 12, 1992. A Comparative Study

自1933年长滩地震以来，砖石建筑的地震反应和地震评估一直是美国关注的重要问题。1992年10月达休尔地震后，埃及也表示了类似的关切。因此，将于1994年12月3日至5日在开罗举行关于地震危险评估的第一届开罗地震工程专题讨论会。这次研讨会由埃及地震工程学会安排，联合国教科文组织和开罗大学工程学院共同主办。将于1994年11月28日至12月1日，即专题讨论会的前一个星期举行关于砖石建筑地震评价的培训班。这项国际旅行奖将使首席研究员能够在这两个会议上发表演讲，并促进美国和埃及研究人员在地震工程领域的合作。＊＊＊

9500404 Adham Seismic response and seismic evaluation of masonry buildings have been of significant concern in the U.S. since the 1933 Long Beach earthquake. Similar concerns were expressed in Egypt following the October 1992 Dahshour earthquake. As a result, the First Cairo Earthquake Engineering Symposium on Seismic Risk Assessment will be held in Cairo on December 3-5, 1994. The symposium is arranged by the Egyptian Society of Earthquake Engineering and co- sponsored by UNESCO and the faculty of engineering at Cairo University. A training course on Seismic Evaluation of Masonry Buildings will be held on November 28-December 1, 1994, a week before the symposium. This international travel award will enable the principal investigator to make presentations at both of these meetings and advance cooperation between U.S. and Egyptian researchers in the field of earthquake engineering. ***
