- Abstract
- The 14th Joint Meeting of the U.S. - Japan Panel on Wind and Seismic Effects was held in Washington, D.C., United States from May 17 through 20, 1982. This publication, which is the proceedings of the Joint Meeting, includes the program, list of members, formal resolutions, technical papers, and the task committee reports. Subjects covered in the papers presented to the panel include: characteristics of strong winds, wind loads on structures and design criteria, earthquake ground motions and dynamic analysis of embankment dams, soil liquefaction study and methods to improve liquefaction resistance, seismic loads on structures and design criteria, stress analyses of pipelines during earthquakes, full-scale seismic experiments, earthquake hazard reduction program, use of microcomputer for earthquake studies, quantitative evaluation of damages caused by winds and earthquakes, and tsunami research projects.
