Planning and Implementation of a Workshop for a National Program on High-Performance Geomedia Materials and Systems

9406087伯恩斯坦本次研讨会的目的是批判性地评估岩土工程的过去和现在的状况，仔细审查未来的需求，并为进入21世纪作为一个充满活力的学科提供方向。在这种情况下，几何图形相对于工程、经济和社会需求的作用将被确定并在必要时重新定义。正确表示和沟通重新定义的角色和工程学科方向所需的术语将被开发。最后，将提出建议，告知公众，包括工程和科学界，地质材料和系统对人类的持续增长和增强的作用和重要性，以及支持这种增长的可用资源。＊＊＊

9406087 Bernstein The objective of this workshop is to critically evaluate the past and present status of geotechnical engineering, scrutinize the needs of the future, and provide directions to enter the 21st century as a vigorous discipline. In this context the role of the geomedia vis-a-vis engineering, economic and societal needs will be identified and redefined if necessary. The terminology needed to correctly represent and communicate the redefined role and direction of this engineering discipline will be developed. And finally, recommendations will be made to inform the public, including the engineering and scientific communities, of the role and importance of geo- materials and systems to the sustained growth and enhancement of mankind and resources available to support that growth. ***
