Planning Grant for Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Repair of Buildings and Bridges with Composites (RB2C)

摘要EEC-9812669密苏里州大学，Rolla Antonio Nanni，PI“用复合材料修复建筑物和桥梁的工业/大学合作研究中心规划补助金” 该奖项资助了一个行业/大学规划会议，以开发一个可操作的行业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC），用于在密苏里州罗拉大学修复建筑物和桥梁复合材料（RB 2C）。 10家与使用复合材料的建筑物和桥梁的维修和修复有关的公司表示有兴趣加入该中心。 拟议的I/UCRC将处理： (1)开发、理解、制造和使用更耐用的建筑材料;（2）安装过程和工程设计;（3）监测和评估修复的结构;（4）产品和设计协议的标准化和代码批准;以及（5）教育和技术转让。 13名教师计划在中心工作，从四个部门：土木工程，电气工程，机械/航空航天工程力学和化学。 除了研究活动外，该中心还建议在大学进行课程改革，将其研究成果纳入教育，并为建筑业劳动力提供技术培训。

Abstract EEC-9812669 University of Missouri, Rolla Antonio Nanni, PI "Planning Grant for Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Repair of Buildings and Bridges with Composites" This award funds an industry/university planning meeting to develop an operational Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for the Repair of Buildings and Bridges with Composites (RB2C) at the University of Missouri, Rolla. Ten companies related to the repair and rehabilitation of buildings and bridges using composite materials have expressed an interest in joining this center. The proposed I/UCRC will address: (1) development, understanding, manufacturing, and use of more durable construction materials; (2) installation processes and engineering design; (3) monitoring and evaluation of repaired structures; (4) standardization and code approval of products and design protocols; and (5) education and technology transfer. Thirteen faculty plan to work in the center from four departments: civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical/aerospace engineering mechanics, and chemistry. In addition to its research activities, the center proposes curricular changes at the university to incorporate its research results into education as well as providing technical training for the construction industry workforce.
