US-India Cooperative Research: Use of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Materials for Repair of Deteriorated Concrete and Masonry Structures

该奖项用于土木工程领域的联合研究，名为“美印合作研究：使用纤维增强聚合物（FRP）材料修复老化的混凝土和砌体结构”。共同研究者是宾夕法尼亚州立大学（PSU）的Thomas Boothby和孟买印度理工学院（IITB）的Abhijit Mukherjee。调查人员将玻璃钢材料应用于修复老化的混凝土和砖石建筑，特别是历史建筑和结构。材料包括柱包覆、外粘接片材和外粘接板。研究人员将进行分析和实验室研究，以及全面的实地试验。范围：这个项目是一个新的倡议，结合了两个机构目前正在进行的研究工作。PSU团队拥有重要的实验室和制造资源，IITB团队将获得已经编程的试验维修站点。分析研究将在IITB进行，强调分析建模，在PSU进行设计方法的开发。INT为开展这一研究合作所需的规划访问提供了支持。

The co-investigators are Thomas Boothby of Pennsylvania State University (PSU) and Abhijit Mukherjee of the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IITB). The investigators will apply FRP materials to the repair of deteriorated concrete and masonry buildings, particularly historic buildings and structures. The materials include column wrapping, externally bonded sheets and externally bonded plates. The researchers will perform analytical and laboratory studies, and full-scale field trials. Scope: This project is a new initiative that combines the research efforts currently underway at both institutions. The PSU team has significant laboratory and manufacturing resources and the IITB team will give access to trial repair sites that are already programmed. Analytical studies will be done which emphasize analytical modeling at IITB and the development of design methods at PSU. INT provided support for the planning visit needed to develop this research collaboration.
