US-India Planning Visit: Use of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Materials for Repair of Deteriorated Concrete and Masonry Structures

小行星9732630 这笔拨款提供部分资助，让首席研究员访问印度，与孟买印度理工学院化学工程系的Abhijit Mukherjee博士会面，以便为一项合作研究项目的计划定稿，该项目是关于使用纤维增强聚合物材料修复损坏的混凝土和砖石结构以及历史建筑。 FRP材料最初是为航空航天工业开发的，现在开始被考虑用于世界各地许多恶化的混凝土和砌体结构的修复。但是当用于这种修理工作时，关于它们的性能或耐久性的信息很少。 布斯比和慕克吉将访问几个地点，检查受损的结构，并与其他专业人员讨论修复的程度，以确定哪些结构包括在他们的合作研究项目。

9732630 Boothby This grant provides partial support for the PI to visit India to meet with Dr. Abhijit Mukherjee, of the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay, for the purpose of finalizing plans for a cooperative research project on the use of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials for the repair of deteriorated concrete and masonry structures and historic buildings. FRP materials were originally developed for the aerospace industry, and they are now starting to be considered for the repair of many deteriorating concrete and masonry structures throughout the world. but little information exists on their behavior or durability when used in such repair work. Boothby and Mukherjee will visit several sites to inspect damaged structures and discuss with other professionals the extent of the repairs to be made in order to determine which structures to include in their cooperative research project.
