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

密苏里大学罗拉·安东尼奥·南尼，PI“复合材料修复建筑和桥梁的工业/大学合作研究中心规划拨款”该奖项资助了一个工业/大学规划会议，以在密苏里大学罗拉分校建立一个可运营的工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC），用于复合材料修复建筑和桥梁（RB2C）。有10家使用复合材料修复和修复建筑物和桥梁的公司表示有兴趣加入该中心。拟议的I/UCRC将解决：(1)开发、理解、制造和使用更耐用的建筑材料；(2)安装工艺及工程设计；(3)修复结构的监测和评估；(4)产品和设计规程的标准化和规范审批；(5)教育和技术转让。13名教师计划在该中心工作，他们来自四个系：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，该中心还提议大学的课程改革，将其研究成果纳入教育，并为建筑行业的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.
