USA and India Workshop on the Durability of Concrete Structures, Award in Indian and U.S. Currencies

描述：该提案是为参加将于8月26日至28日在印度班加罗尔举行的“混凝土结构耐久性”两国研讨会的团体旅行而提出的。佛罗里达大西洋大学的D.V. Reddy教授和印度混凝土研究所和马德拉斯结构工程研究中心的V.S. Parameswaran教授是主要组织者。耐久性问题的严重程度是发达国家和发展中国家相当关注的问题。本次研讨会的主要目的是强调美国和印度的最新进展，特别关注钢筋，预应力混凝土复合材料。复合材料可以是纤维增强、铁水泥或聚合物混凝土。范围：与印度工程师的互动应该对美国工程师有益。印度的混凝土工业高度发达，为周边国家提供了相当大的技术支持，具有相当大的影响力。这是与印度大学和研究机构的工程师交流思想和经验的绝佳机会。研讨会的会议记录将会出版。印度项目建议为六名美国研究人员提供旅费和每日津贴，并为研讨会论文集的出版提供资助。

Description: This proposal is for group travel to the binational workshop on: "Durability of Concrete Structures" to be held in Bangalore, India, August 26-28. Professors D.V. Reddy of Florida Atlantic University and V.S. Parameswaran, of the Indian Concrete Institute and the Structural Engineering Research Centre, Madras, are the principal organizers. The magnitude of the durability problem is of considerable concern to the developed and developing countries. The primary objective of this workshop is to highlight the most recent advances in the U.S. and India, with special focus on reinforced, prestressed concrete composites. Composites may be fiber reinforced, ferrocement or polymer concretes. Scope: Interaction with Indian engineers should be beneficial for U.S. engineers. The concrete industry is highly developed in India and quite influential since they provide considerable technical support to neighboring countries. This is an excellent opportunity for the exchange of ideas and experience with engineers at Indian universities and research institutes. The proceedings of the workshop will be published. The India Program recommends travel and per diem support for six U.S. researchers plus for the publication of the workshop proceedings.
