Workshop on Life-Cycle Performance on Infrastructure Materials: An Assessment of Test Methods and Models

目标是举办一个讲习班，调查和评估加速测试和模拟建模方法，以确定基础设施材料和组件的长期性能。传统和非传统材料以及传统材料在创新应用中的性能都将得到解决。其他领域的材料和生命周期模拟的相关工作也将被考虑。研讨会将1)定义基于基础设施的研究目标，利用加速测试和计算模拟方法来确定生命周期性能；2)评估知识库的状态，以识别研究活动中的差距和重叠；3)建立以结果为导向的指标，以确定研究重点；4)确定有潜力的研究和合作方向。

The objective is to conduct a workshop to survey and assess accelerated-testing and simulation-modeling methods available to determine the long-term performance of infrastructure materials and components. Both conventional and nontraditional materials will be addressed as well as the performance of conventional materials in innovative applications. Related work in materials and life-cycle simulation from other fields will also be considered. The workshop will 1) define objectives for infrastructure-based research that exploits accelerated testing and computational simulation methods to determine life-cycle performance; 2) assess the state of the knowledge base to identify gaps and overlaps in research activities; 3) establish outcome-oriented metrics for setting research priorities; and 4) identify potentially promising lines of research and collaborations.
