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

目的是举办一次讲习班，以调查和评估可用来确定基础设施材料和部件长期性能的加速测试和模拟建模方法。将讨论传统材料和非传统材料，以及传统材料在创新应用中的性能。还将考虑其他领域在材料和生命周期模拟方面的相关工作。讲习班将1)确定以基础设施为基础的研究的目标，利用加速测试和计算模拟方法来确定生命周期绩效；2)评估知识库的状态，以找出研究活动中的差距和重叠；3)建立以结果为导向的指标，以确定研究优先事项；以及4)确定潜在的研究和协作路线。

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.
