- Abstract
- The report (1) reviews the need for large-scale experimental earthquake engineering facilities and instrumentation, including recent recommendations of concerned recognized bodies, (2) determines the feasibility of meeting the perceived need, and (3) assesses the priorities for a U.S. program to fill the need. It provides conclusions and recommendations regarding (1) a research/educational base, (2) full- or nearly full-scale data, (3) experimental facilities, (4) computer modeling, (5) use of Japanese facilities, and (6) operational funding and program management.
