US-Poland Workshop on Concrete Structures

9600611 Nowak 这次美国-波兰混凝土结构研讨会将由密歇根大学的 Andrzej Nowak 博士和 Politechnika Warszawska（华沙理工大学）的 Michal Knauff 教授主持。 研讨会的目的是回顾波兰当前使用的混凝土结构的分析、设计、评估、修复和修复的分析方法和技术，并确定最适合联合研究项目的主题。 主要研究领域包括：（1）钢筋混凝土和预应力混凝土结构荷载和阻力模型的开发； （2）先进材料（高强/高性能混凝土、复合材料、纤维混凝土）； (3) 诊断程序（测试、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）混凝土结构修复与修复材料与技术（钢筋混凝土、预应力混凝土、新型复合材料）。 因此，研讨会将尝试审查每个国家主要主题的最新摘要，确定研究需求，特别是合作项目的主题；并提出一些反映近期人力、技术转让和教育需求的建议。 本次土木工程研讨会实现了将美国和波兰的领先专家聚集在一起的计划目标，在平等、互惠和互惠互利的基础上，在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域结合互补的努力和能力。 ***

9600611 Nowak This U.S.-Poland Workshop on Concrete Structures will be conducted by Dr. Andrzej Nowak of the University of Michigan and Professor Michal Knauff of the Politechnika Warszawska (Warsaw University of Technology). The objective of the workshop is to review the current analytical methods and technology in analysis, design, evaluation, repair and rehabilitation of concrete structures used in Poland and identify the most suitable topics for joint research projects. The major areas to be covered include: (1) development of load and resistance models for reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures; (2) advanced materials (high strength/high-performance concrete, composites, fiber-reinforced concrete); (3) diagnostic procedures (tests, performance monitors, nondestructive techniques, signal processing, integrated sensor systems, microwave, acoustic and optical techniques); and (4) materials and techniques for repair and rehabilitation of concrete structures (reinforced and prestressed concrete, new composite materials). Accordingly the workshop will attempt to review state of the art summary of main topics as viewed in each country, identify the research needs, in particular topics for cooperative projects; and derive some recommendations that reflect the needs in manpower, technology transfer and education for the near future. This workshop in civil engineering fulfills the program objectives of bringing together leading experts in the U.S. and Poland to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit. ***
