Created and exchanged digitized earthquake records used as the basis of
design and research for Japan and the U.S.
Transferred earthquake engineering information and strong-motion
measurement techniques for use by seismically active countries, e.g.,
Australia, Canada, Italy, Mexico, Peru, Taiwan, Turkey, and North Africa.
Produced data that advanced retrofit techniques for bridge structures.
Developed field test data for use in aerodynamic retrofit of bridge
structures.
Produced full-scale test data that advanced seismic design standards for
buildings.
Advanced technology for repairing and strengthening reinforced concrete,
steel, and masonry structures.
Improved in-situ measurement methods for soil liquefaction and stability
under seismic loads.
Created a database comparing Japanese and U.S. standard penetration tests
to improve prediction of soil liquefaction.
Created database on storm surge and tsunamis and verified mathematical
models of tsunami and storm surge and tsunamis.
Established a library resource of current research on wind and earthquake
engineering and on storm surge and tsunamis.
Published proceedings of Panel meetings, Task Committee Workshops, and
special publications such as list of Panel Publications and translated
two-volume series on earthquake resistant construction using base isolation
systems.
Gained better knowledge of both countries research, design and construction
capabilities from in-depth visits to host country's laboratories and
building and public works projects. Results of such visits contribute to
creation of new Task Committees, agendas for Joint Panel meetings and task
committee workshops, special visits of U.S.-Japan researchers, and joint
collaborative research.
Accessed a large US and Japan database that helped develop an USACE Guidance Criteria in Geotechnical Engineering.
Provided access to data to help characterize gravely soils in determining the seismic instability of gravely soils for dams and were used to improve USACE construction criteria.
Through a Japan Guest Researcher from the Port and Harbour Research Institute working at ERDC/WES, Vicksburg geotechnical research findings were transferred into USACE documents.
Created a database comparing Japanese and US standard penetration tests to improve prediction of soil liquefaction.
Increased awareness of wind engineering practice, problems, and breakthroughs in Japan and the U.S.
Improved cross-discipline research among wind engineers/meteorologists/sociologists in each country.
Increased the dissemination of latest research findings in wind engineering, especially post-storm events (typhoons/hurricanes) to each country.
Stimulated interest to create Joint quick-response storm survey teams with interdisciplinary research thrusts to examine storm damage in both countries.
Developed field test data for use in aerodynamic retrofit of bridge structures.
Produced data that advanced retrofit techniques for bridge structures.
Advanced technology for repairing and strengthening reinforced concrete, steel, and masonry structures, improved in-situ measurement methods for soil liquefaction and stability under seismic loads.
Created database on storm surge and tsunamis and verified mathematical models of tsunami and storm surge warning systems.
Established a library resource of current research on wind and earthquake engineering and on storm surge and tsunamis.
Published proceedings of Panel meetings, Task Committee Workshops, and special publications such as List of Panel Publications, translated two-volume series on earthquake resistant construction using base isolation systems, newsletter, website of Panel activities, and more.
