- Abstract
- The Sixth Joint Meeting of the U.S. - Japan Panel on Wind and Seismic Effects was held in Washington, D.C., on May 15-17, 1974. The proceedings of the Joint Meeting include the opening remarks, the program, the formal resolutions, and the technical papers. The subject matter covered in the papers includes extreme winds in structural design; assessment and experimental techniques for measuring wind loads; dynamics of soil structures and ground response in earthquakes; structural response to wind and earthquakes and design criteria; disaster mitigation against natural hazards; and technological assistance to developing countries.
