By Dr. Hiroto Nakagawa, Senior Research Engineer, IISEEThe IISEE Newsletter isintended to act as a gobetween for IISEE andex-participants.

Dr. Kashima and I attended the 3rd European Conference onEarthquake Engineering and Seismology (3ECEES) which was heldat the palace of parliament in Bucharest, Romania, from 4 to 9
September 2022.
We mainly joined the earthquake engineering session and gave
the following two oral presentations.
1. “Fluctuation in Dynamic Characteristics of a Six-storey Steel
Building Examined from Ambient Vibration and Strong Motion
Data (presentation given by Dr. Kashima)”
2. “Applicability of a simple Constitutive Model for ThreeDimensional Finite Element Analysis on Dynamic Soil-StructureInteraction Problem (presentation given by me)”We encourage you tocontribute a report andan article to this newsletter. Please let us
know your current
activities in yourcountries.
We also welcome yourco-workers and friends
to register our mailinglist.

By Dr. Takumi Hayashida, Senior Research Scientist, IISEEThe 13th Joint Meeting of the UnitedStates-Japan Cooperative Program in
Natural Resources (UJNR) Panel onEarthquake Research was held in
Anchorage, Alaska, USA, fromSeptember 27 to 29. The UJNR Panelon Earthquake Research has been
held every two years since 1996

Hayashida(except in 2020) for information sharing and personnel exchanges
between researchers in Japan and the United States. I attended
the meeting on behalf of Dr. Fujii, a committee member from BRI.
The meeting discussed nine main themes, among which I
presented my recent research results on site amplification andseismic hazards. It was a variable opportunity for me to travel
abroad after a long time and exchange opinions face-to-face withparticipants.
