Underground Space Technology, Indo-U.S. Workshop, New Delhi,India, March 1991, Award in U.S. and Indian Currencies

描述：该项目支持7名美国科学家参加将于1991年3月在印度新德里举行的印美地下空间技术研讨会。印度的对应者是印度丹巴德中央矿业研究站主任B.Singh博士。为期三天半的工作坊将涵盖以下领域：各种用途的地下空间的规划和设计；施工方法，包括快速隧道施工；地下挖掘和大量运输；施工过程中和之后的行为监测，通风、排水、照明和工人安全；现场评估和岩土设计，以及地质条件和挖掘问题的预测。除了为印度的条件发展技术外，研讨会还将确定美印合作将有用的领域。范围：该领域的重要性与日俱增，因为除了隧道、矿山和安全避难所等其他需要地下建设的条件外，人们越来越需要最大限度地利用空间，并在供暖和制冷方面更加经济。这个话题对印度和美国来说都是及时的。美国和印度科学家的信息交流很可能将使双方从迄今获得的经验中受益，并将确定在需要研究的领域进行合作的途径。研讨会报告将出版并分发给美国社区和印度。

Description: This project supports participation by seven U.S. scientists in an Indo-U.S. workshop on underground space technology to be held in New Delhi, India in March 1991. The Indian counterpart is Dr. B. Singh, Director, Central Mining Research Station in Dhanbad, India. The three-and-half days workshop will cover the following areas: planning and design of underground space for various purposes; methods of construction including rapid tunnelling; underground excavation and much transportation; monitoring of behavior during construction and thereafter, ventilation, drainage, lighting and worker's safety; site evaluation and geotechnical design, and prediction of geomining conditions and excavation problems. In addition to evolving technology for the Indian conditions, the workshop will identify areas where U.S.-Indian collaboration would be useful. Scope: This field is in an area of increasing importance due to the increazsed need for maximum utilization of space and in economy in heating and cooling in addtion to the other conditions requiring underground construction such as tunnels, mines, and safety shelters. The topic is timely for India and for the U.S. It is likely that the exchange of information by U.S. and Indian scientists will benefit both sides from the experiences gained heretofore, and that avenues for cooperation on areas that need research will be identified. Workshop report will be published and distributed to the U.S. community and in India.
