- Abstract
- The Panel on Wind and Seismic Effects was established in 1969. Sixteen U.S. and six Japanese agencies participate with representatives of private sector organizations, to develop and exchange technologies aimed at reducing damages from high winds, earthquakes, storm surge, and tsunamis. This work is produced through collaboration between U.S. and Japanese member researchers working in 11 task committees. Each committee focuses on specific technical issues, e.g., earthquake strong motion data. The Panel provides the vehicle to exchange technical data and information on design and construction of civil engineering lifelines, buildings, and water front structures, and to exchange high wind and seismic measurement records. Annual meetings alternate between the U.S. and Japan (even numbered years in the U.S.; odd numbered years in Japan). These one-week technical meetings provide the forum to discuss ongoing research and research results; one-week technical study tours follow the meetings.
