Workshop on Geotechnical Composite Systems; Summer 2002, Roanoke, Virginia

摘要：一个为期两天的研讨会将于2002年6月举行，旨在将从业者、研究人员和政府机构的最终用户聚集在一起，探索和推进岩土复合材料系统的新综合领域。土工复合材料系统将人造元素纳入土壤或岩石中，以创造大规模的复合材料。研讨会将有25名来自学术机构、专业建筑公司、政府机构和工程设计公司的不同背景的参与者参加。在现代岩土工程中，最令人兴奋和引人注目的问题是在学科之间的边界上发现的，而不是由单个团体或单个个人解决的。本次研讨会的主要目标是将研究人员、从业人员、最终用户和其他感兴趣的人聚集在一起，以实现以下六个具体目标：建立学科之间的共同点和沟通语言。当岩土复合材料系统在现有应用中使用时，确定其知识上的差距。提出新型土工复合材料系统和现有土工复合材料系统的新应用。探索其他学科的方法，如复合材料工程，如何应用于岩土复合系统领域。确定并优先考虑岩土复合系统的研究需求。广泛传播讲习班成果。除了受邀参加者外，其他对该主题感兴趣的个人也将被邀请申请资金参加研讨会。将特别鼓励代表性不足的少数民族、女性和学术上年轻的研究人员申请。

CMS-0202300PI: Joseph DoveInstitution: Virginia Polytechnic and State UniversityTitle: "Workshop on Geotechnical Composite Systems"Abstract:A two-day workshop will be held in June, 2002 to bring together practitioners, researchers, and government agency end-users for the purpose of exploring and advancing the new, integrated field of Geotechnical Composite Systems. Geotechnical composite systems incorporate man-made elements into soil or rock to create large-scale composite materials. The workshop will involve 25 participants with differing backgrounds from academic institutions, specialty construction companies, governmental agencies, and engineering design firms.The most exciting and compelling issues in modern geotechnical engineering are found at the boundary between disciplines, and cannot be addressed by a single group or single individual. The principal goal of this workshop is to bring together a diverse group of researchers, practitioners, end users, and other interested persons to accomplish the following six specific objectives: 1. Establish common ground, and a language for communication, between disciplines.2. Identify gaps in knowledge about geotechnical composite systems as they are used inexisting applications.3. Propose new types of geotechnical composite systems and new applications forexisting geotechnical composite systems.4. Explore how methods from other disciplines, such as composite materialsengineering, may apply to the field of geotechnical composite systems.5. Identify and prioritize research needs in geotechnical composite systems.6. Broadly disseminate the workshop results.In addition to invited participants, other individuals interested in the topic will be invited to apply for funds to attend the workshop. Underrepresented minorities, female and academically young investigators will be particularly encouraged to apply.
