This is an application for an International Travel Grant, which will be used to provide partial funding for 10 U.S. or more researchers to attend the 4th UJNR Workshop on Soil-Structure Interaction, to be held in Tsukuba, Japan in March 2007. This workshop is part of a series of U.S.-Japan workshops on this topic organized under the auspices of the United States−Japan Cooperative Program in Natural Resources (UJNR), a government to government program established in 1964 to promote conservation of marine and terrestrial resources through cooperation in applied science and technology. Intellectual Merit: The purpose of these workshops has been to provide a platform for experts from both countries to present their work, exchange ideas, identify future research needs, and foster collaboration. The topics covered are: (1) current methods of soil-structure interaction and practices in U.S. and Japan ? geotechnical and structural points of view, (2) code provisions and limitations, (3) observed data, (4) observational arrays and testing facilities, (5) recent research results on how to implement those into practice, (6) additional research needs, and (7) additional observational arrays and testing facilities needed. The fourth workshop will enable to continue the tradition of these workshops, and provide a venue for the U.S. researchers to present new developments in resources for and results on research on soil-structure interaction in the U.S. (e.g. NEES and ANSS), learn about such developments in Japan (e.g. E-Defense), and identify potential collaborators. Broader Impacts: Soil-structure interaction is an important problem in earthquake engineering. Related advances in research and technology will contribute towards reduction of loss of life and injuries, and of monetary losses caused by earthquakes. The workshop proceedings will be broadly disseminated. Integration of Research and Education: The papers presented at the Workshop will be published in a CD Rom proceeding, which will be widely distributed free of charge, and as such readily available to be used as educational material for graduate courses in earthquake engineering. Integrating Diversity in NSF Supported Programs: This grant will enable to include in the U.S. team researchers from groups that are underrepresented in earthquake engineering (women and minorities), and early career researchers. The PI herself is a female research faculty.

这是国际旅行补助金的申请，该申请将用于为10名美国或更多研究人员参加第四届UJNR土壤结构互动研讨会，于2007年3月在日本的塔库巴举行。该研讨会是关于该主题的一系列美国日本研讨会的一部分，该主题是根据美国自然资源合作计划（UJNR）组织的，这是1964年成立的政府政府计划，以促进海洋和地面资源的保护。应用科学和技术的合作。 知识分子的优点：这些研讨会的目的是为两国的专家提供一个平台，以展示其工作，交换思想，确定未来的研究需求并培养协作。涵盖的主题是：（1）美国和日本的土壤结构互动和实践的当前方法？岩土工程和结构性观点，（2）代码规定和局限性，（3）观察到的数据，（4）观察阵列和测试设施，（5）有关如何实施这些方法的最新研究结果，（6）其他研究需求，以及（7）需要其他观察阵列和测试设施。第四个研讨会将使这些研讨会的传统能够继续，并为美国的研究人员提供一个场地日本的发展（例如电子防御），并确定潜在的合作者。 更广泛的影响：土壤结构互动是地震工程中的重要问题。研究和技术的相关进展将有助于减少生命和伤害的丧失，以及地震造成的货币损失。研讨会程序将被广泛传播。 研究和教育的整合：研讨会上发表的论文将在CD ROM程序中发表，该论文将是免费分发的，因此很容易被用作地震工程研究生课程的教育材料。 将多样性整合在NSF支持的计划中：这笔赠款将使来自地震工程（妇女和少数民族）和早期职业研究人员的团体的美国团队研究人员包括在美国团队的研究人员中。 PI本人是女性研究教师。
