International Travel Grant to attend Multilateral Project onthe use of High Strength Concrete Meeting in Kyoto, Japan May 19-21, 1993

该项目为首席调查员参加在京都举行的会议提供国际旅行支持，日本关于在建筑中使用高强混凝土的多边调查。这次会议是由京都大学教授渡边文雄组织的。联合研究的目的是：(1)交流关于高强度混凝土的技术信息，(2)开展理论研究和实验研究。(3)研究此类高性能材料结构的抗震性能；(4)制定合理的此类结构设计准则。高强混凝土，以其优于常规混凝土的性能，在未来的建筑和其他民用基础设施系统中有很好的应用潜力。

This project provides international travel support the principal investigator's participation of a meeting in Kyoto, Japan on multilateral investigations on the use of high strength concrete in construction. The meeting is organized by Professor Fumio Watanabe of Kyoto University. The objectives of the joint research are: (1) exchange of technical information on higher strength concrete, (2) develop theoretical as well as experimental research, (3) study the seismic performance of structures using such high performance materials and (4) establish rational design guidelines of such structures. High-strength concrete, with its superior properties to the conventional concrete, has a good potential for extensive applications in buildings and other civil infrastructure systems in the future.
