Workshop On Strong Motion Data Needs

摘要CMS-0403755，Wilfred D. Iwan，地震工程研究大学联盟标题：“强震数据需求研讨会“这一行动是为了支持一个研讨会，以审查现有的地震强震记录数据库，确定这一数据中可能存在的差距，确定对额外数据的需求并确定其优先次序，并对未来强震研究的需求提出建议。本次研讨会是在以往强震研究领域有影响力的研讨会的基础上举办的在美国、台湾、印度、中国和日本成功安装强震阵列的研讨会上，这些阵列提供了重要的数据，提高了对强震地面运动的理解，以及这种运动对建筑环境的影响。在过去的几年里发生了很多事情，比如目前组建的乔治E。Brown Jr地震工程模拟网络根据新的仪器技术和重要的新的政府监测和实验倡议，现在是重新审视强震动地震仪器部署的时候了;重新评估美国强震动仪器的现状;制定新的战略，以确保在这一领域继续协调一致的进展。1）确定美国和墨西哥的强震动仪器计划的状态以及用户社区的数据可用性，2）收集美国以外的强震动仪器计划的状态信息，以及美国研究人员和从业人员所需的关键数据可以从国外来源获得的程度，3）确定美国计划最高优先级的强震数据需求，4）制定可能的策略以获得研究和应用所需的强震数据，包括考虑不同联邦和州机构的现有和计划中的强震计划，地震构造和地缘政治因素，移动的与固定安装的比较，以及其他问题，以及5）确定在强运动仪器部署的成本/效益分析中需要考虑的因素。本次研讨会的主要重点将是强震数据的工程应用。研讨会将汇集地面运动数据收集和使用方面的主要专家，并就优先事项和需要的发展提出新的概念。地面运动数据具有广泛的影响。收集和提供这些数据的程序是地震工程的关键研究基础设施。现代化的强运动数据库和仪器程序将提供的好处，将在该领域的许多调查人员。越来越多地，访问地面运动数据库提供了机会，研究人员和教育工作者谁是新的地震工程领域。

AbstractCMS-0403755, Wilfred D. Iwan, Consortium of Universities for Research in Earthquake EngineeringTitle: "Workshop On Strong Motion Data Needs"This action is to support a workshop to review the existing database of earthquake strong motion records, identify gaps that may exist in this data, determine and prioritize the needs for additional data, and make recommendations regarding future needs in strong motion research.This workshop builds on previous influential workshops in the field of strong motion earthquake instrumentation, workshops that led to the successful installation of strong motion arrays in the United States, Taiwan, India, China, and Japan. These arrays have provided important data that have improved the understanding of strong earthquake ground motion and the effects of this motion on the built environment. Much has happened in the past few years, such as the current formation of the George E. Brown Jr Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation. It is now time to take a fresh look at strong motion earthquake instrument deployment in light of new instrument technologies and significant new government monitoring and experimentation initiatives; to reassess the status of strong motion instrumentation in the United States; and to develop a new strategy to insure continued coordinated progress in this field.In order to achieve this, the workshop will undertake the following tasks: 1) determine the status of strong motion instrumentation programs in the US and Mexico and the availability of data to the user community, 2) gather information on the status of strong motion instrumentation programs outside the US, and the extent to which critical data needed by US researchers and practitioners may be obtained from foreign sources, 3) identify the highest priority strong motion data needs for US programs, 4) develop possible strategies for obtaining needed strong motion data for research and application, including consideration of existing and planned strong motion programs of different Federal and State agencies, seismo-tectonic and geo-political factors, mobile versus fixed installations, and other issues, and 5) identify factors that need to be considered in cost/benefit analysis for strong motion instrumentation deployment. The primary focus of this Workshop will be on the engineering uses of strong motion data.The workshop will bring together leading experts on the subject of the collection and use of ground motion data and develop new concepts on priorities and needed developments.Ground motion data have a pervasive influence. The programs that collect and provide this data are a key research infrastructure in earthquake engineering. Modernizing strong motion databases and instrumentation programs will provide benefits that will accrue to many investigators in the field. Increasingly, accessibility to ground motion data repositories is providing opportunities for researchers and educators who are new to the earthquake engineering field.
