US-Japan Workshop on Windstorm Hazard Reduction of Critical Infrastructure; Yokohama, Japan; May 2016

该项目计划在美国和日本研究人员之间就减少关键基础设施的风暴危害问题举行研讨会。讲习班的目标是评价两国过去取得的成就，并在不断变化的环境中确定合作项目。在过去的五年中，两国在风灾研究方面都取得了进展，即日本的计算风工程和美国的实验研究设施。这次研讨会至关重要，因为两国的研究人员可以从风灾的互补研究课题领域中学习。该研讨会将于2016年5月在日本横滨国立大学举行。将邀请12至15名美国研究人员和同等数量的日本研究人员参加研讨会。研讨会的会议记录将向其他感兴趣的个人开放。为期三天的项目包括简短的报告、小组讨论和半天的风力工程实施现场参观。通过技术数据/信息、研究人员和研究设备的国际交流，可以改进工程和科学实践。

This project plans to hold a workshop between U.S. and Japan researchers on the subject of windstorm hazard reduction on critical infrastructure. The objectives of the workshop are to evaluate accomplishments of the past in the two countries and to move forward in identifying collaborative projects in changing environment. During the past five years there have been progress in wind hazard research in both countries, namely computational wind engineering in Japan and experimental research facilities in the U.S. This workshop is critical because researchers of the two countries can learn from the complementary research subject areas of the wind hazard.The workshop will be held at Yokohama National University in Japan during the month of May 2016. Twelve to fifteen persons will be invited from the U.S. researchers and equal number from Japan to participate in the workshop. The proceedings of the workshop will be open to other interested individuals. The program of three days will include brief presentations, panel discussions, and one-half day visit to a site of implementation of wind engineering. Engineering and scientific practices can be improved through international exchanges of technical data/information, researchers and research equipment.
