U.S. Participation in Underground Engineering Symposium, New Delhi, April 14-17, 1988, Group Travel Award in Indian and U.S. Currency

描述：该项目支持美国科学家参加在新德里举行的地下工程研讨会。主题将包括水电隧道的建设及其稳定性问题，以及地下储存库中高放射性废物设施的建设；非常深的地下挖掘中的岩爆问题，如印度金矿。研讨会的印度协调员是A.K.杜贝博士，他是印度鲁尔基中央建筑研究所中央采矿研究站单位的地质力学负责人。美国与会者将提交他们的研究论文，并将参观印度的研究设施，特别是鲁尔基大学和科勒金矿的研究设施，以了解研究成果和经验。范围：负责帮助印度工业发展的印度科学家解决了采矿、水电和核废料处理方面的主要结构性问题。他们不得不进行研究来处理这些问题。他们和美国的参与者可以就他们的经验交换信息，并可能在这一领域制定一个可行的合作计划。

Description: This project supports participation by U.S. scientists in a symposium on underground engineering to be held in New Delhi. The topics will include construction of tunnels for hydro-electric power and their stability problems, and of facilities for high-level radioactive waste in underground repositories; rock burst problems in very deep underground excavations such as in Indian gold mines. The Indian coordinator of the symposium is Dr. A. K. Dube, Head, Geomechanics, Central Mining Research Station Unit, Central Building Research Institute, Roorkee, India. The U.S. participants will present papers on their research, and will visit Indian research facilities especially at the University of Roorkee and at the Kolar gold field mines to learn of research results and experiences. Scope: Indian scientists responsible for helping Indian industrial development have dealt with major structural problems in mining, hydro-electric power and nuclear waste disposal. They had to conduct research to deal with these problems. They, and the U.S. participants can exchange information on their experiences and possibly develop a viable program of collaboration in this area.
