- Abstract
- A two and one-half day Bilateral Seminar on Civil Infrstructure Systems (CIS) Research was health on August 28-30, 1997, under the joint sponsorship of the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS), with supplementary support by Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research from non-federal sources. The objective of this seminar was to provide a forum for identifying and comparing common CIS issues in the U.S. and Japan, exchanging ideas on solutions, promoting cooperative research between the two nations, and formulating action plans, all in the frontier areas of CIS research involving the following main themes of study: (1) Science of aging and deterioration; (2) Health monitoring and condition assessment; (3) Renewal engineering; (4) Socioeconomic issues, including institutional effectiveness and productivity; and Research coordination.
