US - East European Bridge Conferences and Lab Tour

9322607 Nowak该项目的目的是审查波兰、捷克共和国、斯洛伐克共和国和匈牙利目前使用的桥梁评估、修复和修复的方法和技术。主要领域包括：(1)桥梁分析评估（荷载、系统识别方法、损伤累积模型、时程模型）；(2)桥梁管理系统（优化模型、决策策略、BMS数据集、桥梁专家系统、战略长期规划）；(3)诊断程序（桥梁试验、称重运动、性能监测、无损技术、信号处理、集成传感器系统、微波）；声学和光学技术),(4)修复和修复桥梁的材料和技术（钢，钢筋和预应力混凝土，砖石拱，木材，新材料）。因此，桥梁研究之旅将试图回顾主要主题的最新概况，一方面是在美国，另一方面是在波兰、捷克共和国、斯洛伐克共和国和匈牙利，确定研究需求，特别是合作项目的主题；并提出反映近期在人力、技术转让和教育方面需要的建议。美国的桥梁研究人员、顾问和桥梁当局代表将参加此次游学活动，访问波兰、捷克共和国、斯洛伐克共和国和匈牙利。当地的组织者将组织专门的会议，会议和实地考察建筑工地。结果将在报告中提出。* * *

9322607 Nowak The objective of the program is to review the current methods and technology in bridge evaluation, repair and rehabilitation used in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic and Hungary. The major areas include: (1) analytical evaluation of bridges (loads, system identification methods, damage accumulation models, time history models), (2) bridge management systems (optimization models, decision making strategy, BMS data set, bridge expert systems, strategic long range planning, (3) diagnostic procedures (bridge tests, weigh-9n-motion, performance monitors, nondestructive techniques, signal processing, integrated sensor systems, microwave, acoustic and optical techniques), (4) materials and techniques for repair and rehabilitation of bridges (steel, reinforced and prestressed concrete, masonry arches, timber, new materials). Accordingly the Bridge Study tour will attempt to review state of the art summary of main topics as reviewed on one hand in the U. S. and, on the other hand, in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic and Hungary, identify the research needs, in particular topics for cooperative projects; and derive some recommendations that reflect the need in manpower, technology transfer and education for the near future. The Study Tour will involve the US group of bridge researchers, consultants and representatives of bridge authorities, visiting Poland, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic and Hungary. the local organizers will organize special conferences, meetings and field trips to the construction sites. The results will be presented in the report. ***
