U.S.-Egypt Workshop: Pavement Management

9810989ShahinDescription：该奖项是为了表彰由美国陆军工程兵团建筑工程研究实验室的M.Y.Shahin博士和埃及扎加齐格Zagazig大学土木工程助理教授Mgady Abdelrahman博士领导的一个美国团队的合作项目。该项目的目标是在两国开发出更好的路面管理方法。他们计划就最近开发的一种名为MicroPaver软件的路面管理软件交换信息，该软件由美国陆军工程兵部队开发，被认为是有效的路面管理和维护的宝贵工具。计划在埃及举办两个讲习班，第一个将集中讨论道路的路面管理，第二个将集中讨论机场的路面管理技术。范围：该奖项是为了表彰两位科学家之间的合作，一位在美国，一位在埃及，他们开发了一种先进的软件程序，用于埃及高速公路和机场的路面管理和维护，可能以后还会在其他发展中国家使用。这一发展对埃及是有利的，因为它开始了经济和人口扩张的进程，这在很大程度上取决于是否有良好的道路和机场。这对美国也是有利的，因为结果将提供与美国部分地区相似的物理环境中的测试数据，但提供的社会和经济条件与美国私营建筑公司运营的许多国家相似。这一建议符合在对双方都有利的领域加强美国与外国合作的国际目标。该项目得到了美国-埃及联合基金计划的支持，该计划为两国的科学家和工程师提供资助，以开展这些合作活动。

9810989ShahinDescription: This award is for support of a cooperative project by a US team headed by Dr. M.Y. Shahin of The US Army Corps of Engineers, Construction Engineering Research Laboratories, in Champaign, Illinois and Dr. Mgady Abdelrahman, Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at Zagazig University, in Zagazig, Egypt. The project's objective is to develop superior methods of pavement management in both countries. They plan to exchange information on a recently developed pavement management software called MicroPaver software which was developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers, and is recognized as a valuable tool in effective pavement management and maintenance. Two workshops are planned in Egypt, the first will concentrate on pavement management for roadways, and the second will concentrate on pavement management techniques for airfields. Scope: This award is for collaboration between two scientists one in the US and one in Egypt, to develop the use of an advanced software program for the management and maintenance of pavement in highways and in airports in Egypt, and possibly later on in other developing countries. This development is beneficial to Egypt as it embarks on a process of economic and demographic expansion which is quite dependent on the availability of good roads and airports. It is also beneficial to the United States since the results will provide test data in physical environments similar to parts of this country, but under social and economic conditions that are similar to many of the countries in which US private construction companies operate. This proposal meets the INT objective of enhancing US-foreign collaboration in areas that benefit both sides. This project is being supported under the US-Egypt Joint Fund Program, which provides grants to scientists and engineers in both countries to carry out these cooperative activities.
