Continuing Support for the Board on Infrastructure and the Constructed Environment

美国国家科学基金会工程委员会威尔逊大道4201号，545室，弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿22230号建议编号：CMS-0431279PI：理查德·利特尔研究所：国家科学院日期：2004年5月27日该奖项代表基础设施和建筑环境委员会(BICE)继续给予部分支持。1994年，国家研究理事会通过其工程和物理科学部建立了BICE，以调查适用于城市系统和服务的技术、科学和公共政策问题；地上和地下建设；已建环境与自然环境之间的关系及其与人类活动的相互作用；自然灾害对已建设施的影响；以及已建环境的规划、设计、施工管理、担保和使用等相关问题。BICE在一个独立的论坛中汇集了来自广泛的科学、工程和社会科学学科的专业知识，以解决基础设施和建筑环境的问题和问题。这笔款项将为执行局重新评估其战略计划“民用基础设施问题战略行动指南”提供资金，作为促进就影响关键基础设施的新问题进行对话的一种手段。作为这项工作的结果，董事会将制定一项活动计划，包括座谈、圆桌会议和讲座，以实施BICE战略计划的目标。这些活动将与赞助机构密切协调，旨在扩大知识基础并推动下列领域的政策讨论：建筑技术和性能、资产管理、可持续社区和基础设施、信息技术在民用基础设施系统中的作用、自然和技术危害对建成环境的影响、设施和基础设施安全与安保的防御性设计原则、基础设施投资和绩效战略、基础设施和社区设计中的社会技术因素、建筑修复技术、建筑技术以及地下环境的更多使用。资金还将用于加强BICE报告和其他BICE活动成果的传播，方法是在若干讲习班和会议上发表演讲和论文，这些研讨会和会议包括第二届国际建筑物防灾会议、IEEE系统、人和控制论会议以及第38届夏威夷系统科学国际研讨会。

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATIONDirectorate for Engineering4201 Wilson Boulevard, Room 545Arlington, Virginia 22230 ABSTRACTProposal #: CMS-0431279PI: Richard LittleInstitution: National Academy of ScienceDate: May 27, 2004This award represents continued partial support of the Board on Infrastructure and the Constructed Environment (BICE). The National Research Council, through its Division of Engineering and Physical Sciences, established the BICE in 1994 to investigate questions of technology, science, and public policy applied to urban systems and services; above ground and underground construction; the relationship between the constructed and natural environments, and their interaction with human activities; the effects of natural hazards on constructed facilities; and related issues of planning, design, construction management, surety, and use of the built environment. The BICE brings together in an independent forum expertise from a wide range of scientific, engineering, and social science disciplines to address problems and issues of infrastructure and the build environment. This award will provide funding for the Board to reassess its strategic plan, Guidance for Strategic Action on Civil Infrastructure Issues, as a means to foster dialog on emerging issues affecting critical infrastructure. As a result of this exercise, the Board will develop a program of activities including colloquia, roundtables, and lectures to implement the goals of the BICE strategic plan. These activities will be closely coordinated with sponsor agencies and designed to enlarge the knowledge base and advance policy discussions in areas such as building technology and performance, asset management, sustainable communities and infrastructures, the role of information technology in civil infrastructure systems, the effects of natural and technological hazards on the built environment, defensive design principles for facility and infrastructure safety and security, infrastructure investment and performance strategies, socio-technological factors in infrastructure and community design, building rehabilitation technologies, construction technologies, and increased use of the underground environment. Funding will also be used to enhance dissemination of BICE reports and the outcomes of other BICE activities through presentations and papers at several workshops and conferences including the 2nd International Conference on the Protection of Structures Against Hazards, the IEEE Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, and the 38th Hawaii International Symposium on System Science.
