Workshop on Long Term Durability of Materials and Structures

[00:86213 . 13]本次研讨会将允许获得NSF 98-42基金资助的研究材料和结构长期耐久性的研究人员分享他们最近取得的成就。这将为在耐久性领域进行研究的科学家和工程师带来独特的机会，使他们能够接触到各种应用中使用的新方法和新材料。讲习班的另一个目标是通过邀请来自若干机构的工程师，在退化科学领域的基础研究和工程应用之间建立密切联系。讲习班将公开讨论创新的加速试验和退化行为建模，以及能够从短期试验中可靠地预测长期性能的研究需求

0086213The workshop will permit that the researchers, who have received grants from NSF 98-42 to study the long-term durability of materials and structures, share information on their recent accomplishments. This will bring a unique opportunity to scientists and engineers conducting research in the field of durability to be exposed to new methods and materials used in diverse applications. Another goal of the workshop is to provide close links between basic research and engineering applications in the field of deterioration science by also inviting engineers from a number of agencies. The workshop will present open discussions on innovative accelerated tests and modeling of deterioration behavior as well as research needs which will enable reliable prediction of long-term performance from short-term tests.***
