International Symposium on Creep and Shrinkage of Concrete

为将于1986年9月在西北大学举行的“混凝土蠕变和收缩：数学模型”专题讨论会提供支助。研讨会的目的是为深入讨论研究前沿和对当前最新技术进行批判性评估提供一个论坛。对蠕变和收缩的理解和数学建模的改进现在被认为是提高混凝土结构的经济性和可靠性的必要条件，无论是在传统的土木工程应用中，还是在核反应堆结构等新应用中。本次研讨会将极大地促进材料科学、连续介质力学和结构工程领域的科学家之间的交流。

Support is provided for a symposium on "Creep and Shrinkage of Concrete: Mathematical Modeling", to be held at Northwestern University during September 1986. The aim of the symposium is to provide a forum for an in-depth discussion of the frontiers of research and a critical appraisal of the current state-of-the-art. Improvements in the understanding and mathematical modeling of creep and shrinkage are now being perceived as essential for improving the economy and reliability of concrete structures, both in traditional civil engineering applications as well as new applications such as nuclear reactor structures. The symposium is expected to greatly contribute to the communication between scientists working on the subject from the viewpoint of material science, continuum mechanics, and structural engineering.
