Third US-China Japan Trilateral Symposium Workshop on Innovative Lifeline Earthquake Engineering

9807095 Wang，Leon R. 该项目支持将于1998年在中国昆明举行的美、中、日三边生命线地震工程研讨会。 这项活动是在1990年和1994年的会议之后进行的。 该项目为三国的科学家和地震工程师提供了一个及时的论坛，以交流研究成果，并审查工程生命线系统抗震设计和安全的最新知识和技术。 会议还将进一步合作，以促进未来对具有成本效益的生命线保护措施的研究，并将研究成果应用于实际应用的设计标准。会议记录将在广泛分发的网站上发表。 这次会议是由日本老自治领大学、中国国家地震局和日本科比大学联合举办的。 该项目由美国/中华人民共和国议定书附件三计划资助。 ***

9807095 Wang, Leon R. This project supports a US-China-Japan Trilateral Symposium/Workshop on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering is to be held in Kunming China in 1998. This activity follows previous meetings in 1990 and 1994. The project provides a timely forum for scientist and earthquake engineers of the three countries to exchange the research results and to review the state-of-the-art knowledge and techniques for seismic designs and safety of engineering lifeline systems. The meeting will also further collaborations for future research on cost-effective lifeline protection measures and implementation of research results into designing standards for practical applications. Proceedings will be published on widely distributed. This meeting is jointly organized by Old Dominion University, State Seismological Bureau (SSB) of China and Kobe University in Japan. This project is supported under the US/PRC Protocol Annex III Program. ***
