Exchange opportunities in 2009:
- Seismic Vulnerability of Engineering Structures: Research on Haz-China system
- Vibration based structural health monitoring; NEES based earthquake engineering experimental method.
- The strong-motion observation technology and strong-motion data utilization. This involved topics could be strong-motion data acquisition and processing, strong-motion station soil classification, attenuation relationship in China, or site effect analysis based on the strong-motion data. This is also cooperated with China Strong Motion Network Center which is affiliated to IEM/CEA.
