Seismic protective systems, such as base isolation, passive energy dissipation, and semi-active and active control, can be applied to new and existing buildings to provide significant reductions in building motion and damage during earthquakes. The objective of this award is to build a community of researchers from Chile, Japan, New Zealand, and the United States, through a virtual institute, to accelerate research on seismic protective systems. This institute will enable U.S. researchers to proactively learn from their foreign counterparts from Pacific Rim countries about the performance of buildings with seismic protective systems during recent major earthquakes in Chile in 2010 and in New Zealand and Japan in 2011, to ensure that seismic protective systems research is directed to better prepare for future hazards. This award will enable the U.S. seismic protective systems community to better anticipate structural damage from future large earthquakes, and avert risk to these events by conducting research now to address the challenges that will facilitate seismic protective systems implementation in buildings. The virtual institute will incorporate the following face-to-face and virtual activities: (a) one workshop per year, hosted sequentially in the countries of the foreign partners, to provide direct opportunities for U.S. participants to share research and data and chart future research directions with international collaborators, (b) pairings of early career U.S. faculty participants with foreign counterparts to develop case studies about the effectiveness of seismic protective systems in past earthquakes, thereby building long-term research collaborations, (c) lectures by the foreign counterparts and U.S. senior participants about research on seismic protective systems in their country, (d) an on-line, directed-study seismic protective systems course that will be used to teach graduate students in the United States and around the world about the state-of-the-art and the state-of-the-research in seismic protective systems, and (e) regular quarterly virtual meetings using online collaboration tools. The virtual institute will bring together researchers on 13 active NSF awards in the areas of seismic protective systems, as well as 20-30 early career participants, to form long-term global research relationships with their international collaborators, who share common research interests and are supported by their respective government research agencies. This award is designated as a Science Across Virtual Institutes (SAVI) award and is co-funded by NSF's Directorate for Engineering and NSF's Office of Integrative and International Activities.

基础隔震、被动消能、半主动和主动控制等地震防护系统可应用于新建和现有建筑物，以显着减少地震期间建筑物的运动和损坏。 该奖项的目的是通过一个虚拟研究所建立一个由来自智利、日本、新西兰和美国的研究人员组成的社区，以加速地震防护系统的研究。 该研究所将使美国研究人员能够主动向环太平洋国家的外国同行学习2010年智利、2011年新西兰和日本最近发生的大地震中具有抗震系统的建筑物的性能，以确保抗震系统研究旨在更好地为未来的危险做好准备。该奖项将使美国地震防护系统界能够更好地预测未来大地震造成的结构损坏，并通过立即开展研究来应对促进建筑物地震防护系统实施的挑战，从而避免这些事件的风险。 该虚拟研究所将包括以下面对面和虚拟活动：(a) 每年一次研讨会，依次在外国合作伙伴国家举办，为美国参与者提供分享研究和数据并规划未来研究的直接机会与国际合作者的指导，(b) 早期职业美国教师参与者与外国同行配对，开展有关过去地震中地震防护系统有效性的案例研究，从而建立长期研究合作，(c) 外国同行的讲座和美国高级参与者了解其国家的地震防护系统研究，(d) 在线定向学习地震防护系统课程，该课程将用于向美国和世界各地的研究生讲授地震防护系统的现状地震防护系统的最先进和最先进的研究，以及 (e) 使用在线协作工具定期举行季度虚拟会议。 该虚拟研究所将汇集在地震防护系统领域获得 13 个 NSF 奖项的研究人员以及 20-30 名早期职业参与者，与拥有共同研究兴趣并具有共同研究兴趣的国际合作者建立长期的全球研究关系。得到各自政府研究机构的支持。 该奖项被指定为跨虚拟研究所科学 (SAVI) 奖，由 NSF 工程理事会和 NSF 综合与国际活动办公室共同资助。
