George C. Lee, University at Buffalo
Objective and Approach
This will be the first of four workshops to be conducted annually with
bridge and earthquake engineering researchers in the People's Republic of
China. Specifically, this workshop will be held in Shanghai, PRC, and
subsequent workshops will alternate between the United States and PRC. The
PRC has made significant advances in earthquake engineering for long span
and special bridges, and will be able to share new knowledge and
technologies with U.S. engineers via this workshop series.
Products
The primary product will be a bound proceedings of all of the technical
papers that were presented during the workshop. A secondary product will
be the various interactions and contacts which the U.S. delegation will
have made with engineers from the PRC.
Technical Challenges
None anticipated. |
