As in previous conferences, a large proportion of the papers

dealt with the seismic behaviour of structures or structural
components although on this occasion a significant number of papers
considered special structures, such as dams, and papers on underground pipe lines, suspension bridges and nuclear power plants
were presented.
It was evident that since the last world conference significant
progress has been made in the inelastic seismic response prediction
field but the group of papers dealing with soil-structure interaction
was somewhat disappointing.
On this occasion a group of papers centered attention on the
seismic probability and risk problem but little new was offered on
the subjects of earthquake measurement techniques and seismic
loading simulation methods. The particular problems of pre-stressed
concrete and masonry earthquake resistant design received regrettably
sparse attention.
It is anticipated that the four volumes of conference
proceedings, complete with discussions, will be available later
this year from the 4WCEE Technical Secretary, P.O. Box 2777,
Santiago, Chile, with whom orders should be placed.
(A list of
papers presented at the Conference follows this report.)

Invitations to hold the next conference in 1973 were received

from Italy, India and Turkey, but the actual venue will be decided
by postal ballot of the Directors.
In his closing address Professor Housner drew attention to
the increasing importance of Earthquake Engineering arising from
the increase in the w o r l d s population. He stressed the need to
provide optimum economic protection by means of seismic design and
