0419893UddinDescription: This project supports a US-Bangladesh Workshop on Innovation for Windstorm Mitigation Construction, to be held in Dhaka, Bangladesh December 20-21, 2005. The U.S. organizer is Dr. Nasim Uddin, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Alabama, Birmingham, Alabama. The Bangladesh co-organizer is Dr. Sk. Sekender Ali, Department of Civil Engineering, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka. The workshop will be hosted by BUET with the Bangladesh Building Research Institute. The goal is to promote global interaction and foster research collaboration towards innovative construction for windstorm mitigation technology. The meeting will cover: advances in the field; interaction of materials and structural scientists; identification of locally available natural fibers like jute fabrics for strengthening of building materials; identification of gaps in knowledge; identification of barriers to the effective utilization of advance composites and innovative materials for windstorm resistant construction; and prioritization of effective research programs in the area of repair, reinforcing, rehabilitation, and new construction. Research related to these topics has been carried out in the US, Canada, Europe, Japan, India and Bangladesh, with little communication between these groups. There is a need for an international exchange of experience to increase the efficiency, and to ensure that the U.S. is at the leading edge of this critical area. Site visits will be organized to hurricane prone areas in Bangladesh. Workshop Proceedings will be produced and widely disseminated to researchers and code writers as well as in professional journals. Scope: Coastal States and many Island States and territories are vulnerable to the hazards of windstorms. In the U.S., many states are vulnerable to the hazards of tornadoes and thunderstorms, while increased building activity is occurring in high-risk areas. Hurricanes, combining high winds and flooding cause enormous loss of life, injury, destruction of property, and economic and social disruption, as evidenced by the 56 deaths and $6 Billion in property damage in 1999 from Hurricane Floyd. Every year, thousands of people die in Bangladesh, and the southeastern part of India, due to hurricanes. The fiercest such windstorm was of 29 April 1991, when material damage was to the tune of about $2.4 billion and human casualty of about 140,000 lives. The workshop is organized on the premise that the exchange of existing American and foreign experience in the area of innovative windstorm mitigation construction is beneficial for both parties. This project is funded jointly by OISE and the Division of Civil and Mechanical Systems.

0419893 Uddin描述：该项目支持将于2005年12月20-21日在孟加拉国达卡举行的美国-孟加拉国风暴减缓建筑创新研讨会。美国组织者是亚拉巴马伯明翰市亚拉巴马大学土木与环境工程系的Nasim Uddin博士。 孟加拉国协办者是达卡孟加拉国工程技术大学土木工程系的Sk. Sekender Ali博士。该研讨会将由BUET与孟加拉国建筑研究所主办。其目标是促进全球互动，促进研究合作，以创新建设风暴减缓技术。 会议将包括：该领域的进展;该项目的主要目的是：促进材料和结构科学家的互动;确定当地可用的天然纤维，如黄麻织物，用于加强建筑材料;确定知识差距;确定有效利用先进复合材料和创新材料进行抗风暴建筑的障碍;以及优先考虑维修、加固、修复和新建筑领域的有效研究计划。与这些主题相关的研究已经在美国、加拿大、欧洲、日本、印度和孟加拉国进行，这些群体之间的交流很少。 有必要进行国际经验交流，以提高效率，并确保美国在这一关键领域处于领先地位。将组织对孟加拉国飓风多发地区进行实地考察。将制作讲习班记录，并向研究人员和守则编写者以及在专业杂志上广泛散发。 范围：沿海国家和许多岛屿国家和领土易受风暴的危害。 在美国，许多州容易受到龙卷风和雷暴的危害，而在高风险地区，建筑活动正在增加。飓风，结合强风和洪水，造成巨大的生命损失、伤害、财产破坏以及经济和社会混乱，1999年飓风弗洛伊德造成56人死亡和60亿美元的财产损失就是明证。 每年，孟加拉国和印度东南部都有数千人死于飓风。1991年4月29日发生了最猛烈的一次风暴，造成的物质损失约达24亿美元，人员伤亡约14万人。 举办该讲习班的前提是，交流美国和外国在创新性风暴减缓建筑领域的现有经验对双方都有利。 该项目由OISE和土木和机械系统司共同资助。
