POST EARTHQUAKE FIELD INVESTIGATION OF THE MW7.6 PADANG EARTHQUAKE OF 30TH SEPTEMBER 2009

总部设在英国的地震工程现场调查小组（EEFIT）将对印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛的巴塘地区进行一项侦察使命，以研究2009年9月30日发生的7.6级地震的影响。这次使命的目的是深入了解建筑物和基础设施在地震中的表现以及对当地社区的影响。为此，一个由6人组成的团队将花费大约1周的时间在现场收集数据。在他们返回后，将使用作为项目一部分开发的新型灾害管理工具对这些数据进行分析，并将分析结果分发给研究人员和专业工程师。该拨款申请为EEFIT小组的学术成员参与这项使命寻求财政援助。

The UK based Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team (EEFIT) will be conducting a reconnaissance mission to the Padang region of Sumatra, Indonesia to study the effects of the M7.6 earthquake that occurred on the 30th September 2009. The purpose of this mission is to gain insight into how buildings and infrastructure performed during this earthquake and the consequent effect on the local community. To do this a team of six people will spend approximately 1 week in the field collecting data. On their return, this data will be analysed using novel disaster management tools that will be developed as part of the project and the findings disseminated to both researchers and professional engineers. This grant application seeks financial assistance for the academic members of the EEFIT group to participate in this mission.
