International Travel Grant to Attend Symposium on Computer Methods in Structural Masonry, Swansea, UK, April 3-4, l991

这是一项国际旅行赠款，以支持首席研究员参加1991年4月3-5日在英国举行的“结构砖石工程计算机方法国际研讨会”。PI已被邀请提交两篇关于他与美国TCCMAR团队在砖石方面的研究成果的技术论文。此外，他还被任命为研讨会咨询小组的美国成员，由土木工程系J.Middleton博士指导，斯旺西大学学院，拟参加专题讨论会和咨询小组的提议将使尤因博士能够：(A)介绍和传播关于砌筑结果的技术信息由NSF支持的TCCMAR项目在美国开展的研究。(B)参加专题讨论会的咨询小组，制定砖石结构的研究目标和优先事项。(C)在国际减少自然灾害十年期间交流国际一级的研究成果。这一努力将鼓励美国和欧洲国家在抗震砌体设计领域开展研究合作。此外，它还将协助国家科学基金会传播TCCMAR在砖石设计和施工方面的研究成果。

This is an international travel grant to support the Principal Investigator's participation in the "International Symposium on Computer Methods in Structural Masonry", April 3-5, 1991, in the United Kingdom. The PI has been invited to present two technical papers on results of his research work on masonry with the U.S. TCCMAR team. In addition, he has been appointed to be the U.S. member of the Advisory Panel for the Symposium under the direction of Dr. J. Middleton, Department of Civil Engineering, University College of Swansea, U.K. The proposed participation in the Symposium and on the Advisory Panel will enable Dr. Ewing to: (a) Present and disseminate technical information on the results of masonry research in the U.S. developed by the TCCMAR Project supported by NSF. (b) Join the Symposium's Advisory Panel in the development of research goals and priorities in masonry structures. (c) Exchange research results on international levels during the International Decade of Natural Hazards Reduction (IDNHR). This effort will encourage the development of research cooperation between the U.S. and European countries in the area of earthquake resistant masonry design. In addition it will assist NSF in the dissemination of TCCMAR research results in masonry design and construction.
