9624509辛格该项目为中国官方地震工程代表团在1996年夏天访问几家美国研究机构提供了支持。代表团由中国建设部和云南省抗震设防办公室的成员组成，云南省近年来发生了多次破坏性地震。该项目是一项重要的国际合作研究活动，已被公认为是在地震工程研究科学领域推进知识库和获取重要数据的一种经济有效的手段。这种努力是有效的，因为它们利用两国的互补优势收集相关数据，传播信息，并利用共同的人力和物力资源开展共同感兴趣的研究。这项活动是中美地震合作研究协议附件III的一部分，该计划由美国国家科学基金会和建设部中国共同管理。***

9624509 Singh This project provides support for an official Chinese Earthquake engineering delegation to visit several U.S. research institutions during the summer of 1996. The delegation is made of members from the Chinese Ministry of Construction and the Earthquake Resistant Office, Yunnan Province where many damaging earthquakes have occurred in recent years. This project is an important international cooperative research activity which has been recognized as a cost-effective means of advancing knowledge base and obtain important data in the scientific field of earthquake engineering research. Such efforts are effective because they utilize the complementary strengths of two countries to collect relevant data, disseminate information and carry out research of mutual interest with joint human and material resources. This activity is a part of US-PRC Earthquake Protocol for Cooperative Earthquake Studies, Annex III program which is jointly administered by ENG/NSF and Ministry of Construction, China. ***
