Abstract 98-76478 PI: Deborah Roberts and Cumaraswamy Vipulanandan Institution: University of Houston Title: "Multi-Disciplinary Workshop on the Biodeterioration of Construction Materials" The durability of construction materials often depends on their resistance to the natural tendencies of microorganisms to break down organized materials to a more disorganized state. These activities are often called biodeterioration and result in damage to many civil infrastructure facilities. The objectives of this award are to hold a workshop to examine the current state of biodeterioration science and engineering and to discuss the future needs and opportunities for research. The workshop will be held during October, 1999 in Houston, Texas at the Hilton on the University of Houston campus. The specific objectives of the workshop are to: 1) Identify the construction materials that are susceptible to biodeterioration and a) the rate of deterioration of the materials, b) the organisms and environmenta that cause the deterioration, c) the protective measures that prevent or slow down deterioration, and d) the direction for further study of the biodeterioration of construction materials. 2) Establish the tools and technology available to aid the continued research efforts. 3) Discuss teaching tools to incorporate this information into current engineering and microbiology courses.

摘要98-76478 PI: Deborah Roberts和Cumaraswamy Vipulanandan机构：休斯顿大学标题：“建筑材料的生物劣化多学科研讨会”建筑材料的耐久性往往取决于它们对微生物将有组织的材料分解成更无组织状态的自然倾向的抵抗。这些活动通常被称为生物劣化，会对许多民用基础设施造成破坏。该奖项的目标是举办一个研讨会，以审查生物退化科学和工程的现状，并讨论未来的研究需求和机会。讲习班将于1999年10月在德克萨斯州休斯顿的休斯顿大学校园希尔顿酒店举行。研讨会的具体目标是：1)确定易发生生物降解的建筑材料和a)材料的降解速率；b)引起降解的生物和环境；c)防止或减缓降解的防护措施；d)建筑材料生物降解的进一步研究方向。2)建立可用的工具和技术，以帮助持续的研究工作。3)讨论将这些信息纳入当前工程和微生物学课程的教学工具。
