International Workshop on Technology Transfer for Vacuum- Induced Consolidation: Engineering and Practice

摘要 小行星9504402 本次研讨会的主要目标是：回顾历史发展;评估当前的实践状态;讨论未来潜在的创新应用;并确定技术转让机会和研究需求，以加速和实施真空固结技术在美国和国外的工程实践。 研讨会的成果将大大加快该技术在实践中的应用速度，从而更快地实现真空固结技术带来的生产率提高和环境影响减少。 美国和国外港务局目前面临的挑战提供了一个试验平台的机会，并将使成功的可行性试点计划的准备，以评估在各种现场条件下的这项技术。 预计可在稍后阶段测试不同的设计方法并与讲习班的与会者分享。 ***

ABSTRACT 9504402 Thevanayagam The prime objectives of this workshop are to: review historical development; assess current state of practice; discuss potential future innovative applications; and, identify technology transfer opportunities and research needs in order to accelerate and implement vacuum consolidation technology in engineering practice in the United States and abroad. The results of the workshop will significantly accelerate the rate at which this technology is implemented in practice, bringing about a more rapid realization of the productivity gains and reduced environmental impacts offered by vacuum consolidation technology. Current challenges faced by port authorities in the U.S. and abroad offer a test bed opportunity and will enable preparation of successful feasibility pilot programs to evaluate this technology under various site conditions. It is anticipated that different design approaches could be tested and shared with the participants of the workshop at a later stage. ***
