- Abstract
- As part of a joint United States-Japan research program, this conference proceeding represents the third time researchers from the United States and Japan have convened to collaborate and exchange information concerning ground deformations and ground movement effects on the performance of lifeline facilities during earthquakes. The 40 papers presented in the volume are grouped in the following major areas: ground deformation and lifeline performance during past earthquakes; analytical and experimental modeling of soil liquefaction; seismic analysis of lifelines and earthquake resistant design; earthquake countermeasures and emergency response. Also presented in the volume and based on these major areas, are the results of four working groups convened during the conference.
