The Committee on Earthquake Engineering was established by the National Research Council in September, 1983. The Committee was organized to meet the need for a national focus and continuing assessments of the national earthquake engineering program. In its fourth year of operation, the committee will continue to oversee five projects: (1) strong-motion instrumentation, (2) advisory panel on National Earthquake Engineering Experimental Facility study, (3) earthquake engineering on concrete dams, (4) seismic policy adoption and implementation, and (5) earthquake loss estimation.
