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

这是一项国际旅行补助金，用于支持首席调查员前往西欧参加两次会议：1.“意大利关于加固砖石结构的研讨会”，那不勒斯，安科纳，乌迪内，1991年10月7日至12日，意大利维琴察，意大利CONZORSIO POROTON。2.“第九届国际砖砖会议”，德国柏林，1991年10月13-18日，德国Gesellschaft毛皮公司(DGFM)，位于波恩的德国砖石协会。参加这两次会议将使首席调查员能够：1.提交两篇受邀论文，“美国配筋砌体工程概述”和“砖石工程概述”美国的结构研究“，在意大利的系列研讨会上，2.代表美国出席国际会议在柏林，德国，并提交两篇题为《美国TCCMAR协调《砌体研究计划》和《砌体极限状态设计理念》。在这两次会议上，首席调查员将介绍在NSF赞助和协调的“TCCMAR砖石研究计划”内开发的具体成果。这一努力也将为进一步发展美国、意大利、和德国在涉及砖石建筑和抗震设计的先进技术领域。

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.
