International Travel Grant to attend Italian Seminars on Reinforced Masonry Structures in Rome, Italy on October 7-12, 1991

这是一笔国际旅行补助金，用于支持首席研究员前往西欧参加两次会议。“意大利加固砌体结构研讨会”，那不勒斯，安科纳，乌迪内和维琴察，意大利，1991年10月7-12日；Conzorsio poroton italia。2. “第九届国际砖/砌块会议”，1991年10月13日至18日，德国柏林，德国工业协会（DGfM）波恩的德国砖石协会。参加这两次会议将使首席研究员能够：主持两篇特邀论文《美国钢筋砌体研究综述》和《美国砌体结构研究综述》；意大利系列研讨会；代表美国参加在德国柏林举行的国际会议，并提交两篇论文，题目为：“美国TCCMAR砌体协调研究计划”和“砌体极限状态设计理念”。在这两次会议上，首席研究员将介绍在NSF赞助和协调的“TCCMAR砌体研究计划”中开发的具体成果。这项工作还将为进一步发展美国、意大利和德国在砖石建筑和抗震设计等先进技术领域的研究合作提供机会。

This is an International Travel Grant to support the Principal Investigator's travel to and participation at two meetings in Western Europe: 1. "Italian Seminars on Reinforced Masonry Structures", Naples, Ancona, Udine, and Vicenza, Italy, October 7-12, 1991, CONZORSIO POROTON ITALIA. 2. "Ninth International Brick/Block Conference", Berlin, Germany, October 13-18, 1991, Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Maumauerwerksbau (DGfM), German Masonry Association in Bonn. Participation of the two meetings will enable the Principal Investigator to: 1. Present two invited papers, "An Overview of Reinforced Masonry in the United States" and "An Overview of Masonry Structural Research in the United States", at the Italian series of seminars, and 2. Represent the U.S. at the International Conference in Berlin, Germany, and present two papers entitled: "The U.S. TCCMAR Coordinated Masonry Research Program" and "Masonry Limit State Design Philosophy". At both meetings, the Principal Investigator will be presenting specific results developed within the NSF sponsored and coordinated "TCCMAR Masonry Research Program". This effort will also provide the opportunity to further develop research cooperation between the U.S., Italy, and Germany in areas of advanced technologies involving masonry construction and seismic design.
