Workshop in Research Needs to Address Future Buried PipelineProblems

这个国家面临的主要问题之一是该国物质结构的恶化。最古老的系统之一是埋藏管道，它可以追溯到殖民时期。许多地方的管道破裂，给社区带来不便，并增加了维修这些管道以继续服务的费用。该项目将调查埋地管道的几个相关方面，以确定其状况和修复活动。具体来说，研讨会将评估：载荷、温度影响、材料、安装和维修方法、连接方法和一般施工方法。本次研讨会的成果将有利于研究人员、地方、州和联邦各级的决策者以及从事管道系统设计和施工的专业工程师。研究人员有资格主持这个研讨会。该项目被推荐为一个奖项。该奖项为期一年，为一次性奖励。

One of the major concerns confronting the nation is the deterioration of the physical structures of the country. One of the oldest systems place is that of buried pipelines which date back to colonial days. They are rupturing in many places and causing inconvenience and added expense to the community to repair them for continued service. This project will investigate several related aspects of buried pipelines to determine their condition and rehabilitation activities. Specifically, the Workshop will evaluate: loadings, effects of temperature, materials, installation and repair practices, joining methods, and general constructing practices. The results of this Workshop will be beneficial to the researchers, decision makers at local, state and Federal levels, and professional engineers engaged in the design and construction of pipeline systems. The researchers are qualified to conduct this Workshop. The project is recommended for an award. This award is for a period of one year and is a one time award.
