International Symposium on Creep and Shrinkage of Concrete

支持召开“混凝土的蠕变和收缩”专题讨论会， 混凝土：数学建模”，将在西北大学举行 1986年9月大学毕业。 研讨会的目的是 为深入讨论研究前沿提供论坛 以及对当前最先进技术的批判性评价。 对徐变和收缩的理解和数学建模 现在被认为是改善经济的关键， 混凝土结构的可靠性，无论是在传统的土木 工程应用以及新的应用，如核 反应堆结构。 预计研讨会将大大有助于 研究这一课题的科学家之间的交流， 材料科学、连续介质力学和结构力学的观点 工程.

Support is provided for a symposium on "Creep and Shrinkage of Concrete: Mathematical Modeling", to be held at Northwestern University during September 1986. The aim of the symposium is to provide a forum for an in-depth discussion of the frontiers of research and a critical appraisal of the current state-of-the-art. Improvements in the understanding and mathematical modeling of creep and shrinkage are now being perceived as essential for improving the economy and reliability of concrete structures, both in traditional civil engineering applications as well as new applications such as nuclear reactor structures. The symposium is expected to greatly contribute to the communication between scientists working on the subject from the viewpoint of material science, continuum mechanics, and structural engineering.
