U.S.-Japan Seminar: Structural Performance of High-Strength Concrete in Seismic Regions/November 1994/Honolulu, HI

该奖项支持九名美国科学家和工程师参加定于1994年11月在夏威夷檀香山举行的美日地震带高强度混凝土结构性能研讨会。本次研讨会由美国明尼苏达大学土木与矿物工程系Catherine French教授和京都大学建筑工程系渡边文雄教授共同主办。除了美国和日本的参与者外，澳大利亚、加拿大和新西兰的科学家也将出席。通过最近在美国、日本、加拿大、新西兰和挪威进行的试验项目，可以获得大量不同的高强度钢筋混凝土试验数据。这些数据包括材料开发、结构性能和施工程序的信息。研讨会将集中讨论位于震区的高强度钢筋混凝土结构的设计和性能。参与者将交换最近获得的数据，评估数据，并提出合理的设计建议。在这个过程中，可能会发现数据库的不足和未来的研究需求。

9315122 French This award supports the participation of nine U.S. scientists and engineers in a U.S.-Japan Seminar on Structural Performance of High- Strength Concrete in Seismic Regions, scheduled for November 1994 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The seminar is co-organized by Professor Catherine French, Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering, University of Minnesota, and Professor Fumio Watanabe, Department of Architectural Engineering, Kyoto University. In addition to the U.S. and Japanese participants, scientists from Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, are expected to attend. A large quantity and variety of test data on high-strength reinforced concrete has become available through recent test programs conducted in the United States, Japan, Canada, New Zealand, and Norway. These data include information on material development, structural performance, and construction procedures. The seminar will focus on the design and performance of high-strength reinforced concrete structures located in seismic regions. Participants will exchange recently acquired data, evaluate the data, and develop rational design recommendations. In the process, deficiencies in the database and future research needs may be identified.
