U.S.-Singapore Workshop on the Durability of Concrete with Particular Emphasis on the Marine Environment, Singapore, July 16-19, 1993

该奖项提供资金，允许佛罗里达大西洋大学海洋工程系D.V. Reddy博士和南达科他州矿业与技术学院土木工程系V. Ramakrishnan博士与土木工程系P. Paramasivam博士进行合作。新加坡国立大学，一个关于混凝土耐久性的研讨会，特别强调海洋环境。研讨会领域的专家咨询小组将选出9名美国与会者和至少同等人数的新加坡、马来西亚、印度尼西亚和文莱与会者。这个讲习班是将于1993年7月14日和15日在新加坡举行的第四届结构破坏、耐久性和改造国际会议的附属会议。耐久性问题的严重性是相当大的。在估计价值6万亿美元的混凝土基础设施中，目前因耐久性不足而引起的更换和维修需求保守估计为数十亿美元。讲习班将着重于使用新的补充水泥材料、缓蚀剂、改进的混合设计、钢筋类型和施工技术。合作者是该领域的知名研究人员。该项目与“发展中国家科学项目”的目标相关，该项目旨在通过交流科学信息、思想、技能和技术，提高美国和发展中国家科学家和工程师之间的合作水平。和技术，并通过合作解决共同感兴趣和利益的问题。

This award provides funds to permit Dr. D.V. Reddy, Department of Ocean Engineering, Florida Atlantic University, and Dr. V. Ramakrishnan, Department of Civil Engineering, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, to conduct with Dr. P. Paramasivam, Department of Civil Engineering, National University of Singapore, a workshop on the durability of concrete with particular emphasis on the marine environment. Nine U.S. participants and at least an equal number from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei will be selected by an advisory panel of experts in the field of the workshop. This workshop is a satellite conference for the 4th International Conference on Structural Failure, Durability, and Retrofitting which will be held in Singapore, July 14 and 15, 1993. The magnitude of the durability problem is considerable. In the concrete infrastructure estimated at $6 trillion, current replacement and repair requirements caused by inadequate durability is conservatively estimated at several billion dollars. The workshop will focus on the use of new supplementary cementing materials, corrosion inhibitors, improved mix design, rebar types, and construction techniques. The collaborators are well known researchers in this field. This project is relevant to the objectives of the Science in Developing Countries Program which seeks to increase the level of cooperation between U.S. and developing country scientists and engineers through the exchange of scientific information, ideas, skills, and techniques and through collaboration on problems of mutual interest and benefit.
