Workshop/Conference on Application of Numerical Procedures in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering, University of California, Davis

9701890阿鲁兰丹这一行动是为了支持一次国际研讨会/会议，从地面运动和地面破坏的角度讨论减轻国家基础设施因地震灾害造成的恶化的进展情况和研究需要。重点是美国国家科学基金会资助的VELACS项目(离心机研究的液化分析验证)的贡献，VELACS概念在实践中的应用，确定其他研究需求，并传播这一信息。1992年2月在加州大学戴维斯分校举行的前一次国际讲习班也讨论了这一问题。自那时以来，岩土地震工程领域已经做出了许多贡献，但也取得了一些有限的工程实践应用。本讲习班/会议的目标是：1)评估过去四年在验证数值程序、现场表征以获得用于数值程序的现场特性以及验证数值程序在工程实践中的应用方面取得的进展；以及2)确定进一步取得进展所需的研究。这次研讨会/会议有望推动岩土地震工程领域的进一步发展。

9701890 Arulanandan This action is to support an international workshop/conference to discuss progress toward, and research needs for, mitigating the deterioration of the Nation's infrastructure resulting from exposure to earthquake hazards, from the viewpoint of ground motion and ground failure. The focus is on the contributions of the NSF- funded VELACS project (Verification of Liquefaction Analysis by Centrifuge Studies), the applications of the VELACS concepts to practice, determining additional research needs, and disseminating this information. A previous international workshop held at the University of California, Davis, in February 1992, also addressed this topic. Since then, numerous contributions have been made to the field of geotechnical earthquake engineering, and some limited applications to engineering practice have been achieved. The objectives of this workshop/conference are: 1) to evaluate the progress that has been made in the past four years in the areas of verified numerical procedures, site characterization to obtain insitu properties for use in numerical procedures, and application of verified numerical procedures in engineering practice; and 2) to determine the research needed to make further progress. This workshop/conference is expected to lead to further advancements in the field of geotechnical earthquake engineering.
