U.S.-Japan Joint Seminar: Infrastructural and Environmental Risk Assessment and Rehabilitation

9603089文本奖项支持美国科学家/工程师参加将于1997年11月22日至23日在日本京都举行的美日基础设施和环境风险评估与修复研讨会。协办人是美国伊利诺伊大学的温教授和日本东京大学的神田俊。研讨会将讨论环境负荷、环境危害、风险评估、基础设施改造和检查等主题。重点将集中在通过随机模拟弥合分析和数值方法与在自然和人为技术危害下对民用基础设施系统的实际应用之间的差距。由于污染造成的环境问题也将被考虑。与该领域的日本专家交流想法和数据将使美国参与者能够推进自己的工作，并为未来的合作项目奠定基础。研讨会的会议记录将准备、出版并分发给工业、政府和学术机构。＊＊＊

9603089 Wen This award supports the participation of American scientists/engineers in a U.S.- Japan seminar on Infrastructural and Environmental Risk Assessment and Rehabilitation to be held in Kyoto, Japan from November 22- 23, l997. The co-organizers are Professors Y. K. Wen of the University of Illinois and Jun Kanda of the University of Tokyo in Japan. The seminar will address theme topics on environmental loads, environmental hazards, risk assessment, infrastructure retrofit and inspection. The emphasis will be focused on bridging the gap between analytical and numerical methods and practical applications to civil infrastructrural systems under natural and man-made technical hazards by stochastic simulation. Environmental problems due to pollution will also be considered. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in the field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. The workshop proceedings will be prepared, published, and distributed to industries, government and academic institutions. ***
