Objectives and Relevancy: This project supports the particiation of a U.S. delegation of 10 scientists in meetings in India related to geotechnical research. Specifically, the team will attend a standardization committee meeting in New Delhi, to be followed by the 6th International Conference on Expansive Soils to be held December 1-3, 1987, and attend an Indo-U.S. workshop on geotechnical engineering perspectives on Dec.4th, then visit construction sites in southern India and attend a one-day technical deliberation on the practices observed. It is hoped that these activities will help develop the use of science and engineering knowledge to mitigate the damage that results from expansive soils in India and the U.S. The U.S.-India program supports participation of scientists from the U.S. in important international meetings in India as is the case in this project. Merit: The conference deals with a very important topic for the U.S. and India. The proposed extensive activities within this project are quite appropriate and useful for the scientists from the two countries. There is potential benefit in the experiences to be gained, in reducing the structural damage, through the interaction with participants from India and other countries. The selection procedure of U.S. participants is planned to lead to a strong delegation. Funding: None other than this action.

目标和相关性：该项目支持一个由10名科学家组成的美国代表团参加在印度举行的与岩土研究有关的会议。具体地说，该小组将参加在新德里举行的标准化委员会会议，随后将于1987年12月1日至3日举行第六届国际膨胀土会议，并将于12月4日参加印度-美国关于岩土工程观点的研讨会，然后参观印度南部的建筑工地，并参加为期一天的关于所观察到的实践的技术审议。希望这些活动将有助于发展科学和工程知识的使用，以减轻印度和美国膨胀土壤造成的破坏。美印计划支持美国科学家参加在印度举行的重要国际会议，该项目就是这样。优点：这次会议讨论了一个对美国和印度非常重要的话题。该项目中拟议的广泛活动对两国科学家来说是非常合适和有用的。通过与来自印度和其他国家的与会者的互动，在减少结构损害方面获得的经验有潜在的好处。美国与会者的遴选程序计划产生一个强大的代表团。资金：不是别人，正是这个行动。
