This project will support the travel of researchers to participate in the US-India Workshop on ?Enhancing the Resilience of Built Infrastructure? to be held in India in 2009. The workshop will be organized around the four theme topics of: (1) extreme load definitions and combinations, (2) material performance, (3) retrofitting strategies, and (4) long-term strategies and plans for continuing US-India collaboration in these areas. The objectives of the workshop are to assess the state of the art in the three areas in the two countries and then identify future research agenda and research and educational cooperative opportunities in these areas. The proposed activity will bring together international researchers working in the areas of the workshop theme topics for the exchange of scientific information and ideas. The workshop topic is of strong research interest to both countries currently. USA has a strong research base and expertise in these areas and India is now aggressively pursuing research in these areas. However, we certainly can learn more from each other about the problems of common research interest, and benefit from a synergistically formulated collaborative research plan. This workshop will provide an excellent opportunity to the participants, especially the young researchers, for mutual appreciation of the cultural synergies that now exist between the scientific communities of the two countries for further advancement of science through joint research, faculty exchange opportunities, sabbatical opportunities, student exchange opportunities, and information technology and web-based collaborations.

该项目将支持研究人员参加美国-印度研讨会的旅行？加强基础设施建设的弹性？将于2009年在印度举行。 研讨会将围绕以下四个主题组织：（1）极端负荷定义和组合，（2）材料性能，（3）改造战略，以及（4）长期战略和计划，以继续美印在这些领域的合作。 研讨会的目的是评估两国在这三个领域的最新技术水平，然后确定未来的研究议程以及这些领域的研究和教育合作机会。拟议的活动将汇集在讲习班主题领域工作的国际研究人员，以交流科学信息和想法。 研讨会的主题目前对两国都具有浓厚的研究兴趣。 美国在这些领域拥有强大的研究基础和专业知识，印度目前正在积极开展这些领域的研究。 然而，我们当然可以从彼此身上学到更多关于共同研究兴趣的问题，并从协同制定的合作研究计划中受益。 这次研讨会将为与会者，特别是年轻的研究人员提供一个极好的机会，相互欣赏两国科学界之间目前存在的文化协同作用，通过联合研究，教师交流机会，休假机会，学生交流机会以及信息技术和基于网络的合作进一步推动科学发展。
