... Fertile Research Areas Structural Response Cooperative research projects are needed to improve the state of the art and the mutual understanding of the two research communities in experimental and analytical methods applied to different materials of construction. In experimental research, cooperative research projects should be planned to make best use of the available facilities in the Soviet Union and the United States in static and dynamic testing of (a)
