US-European Workshop on Bridge Evaluation, Repair and Rehabilitation

美欧桥梁研讨会的目标是了解桥梁工程的最新进展，重点关注新材料和技术、涉及集成传感器系统的监测和诊断、欧洲桥梁分析、设计、评估、修复和修复的新方法，并确定最适合联合研究项目的主题。涵盖的主要范畴包括：(1)先进材料（高强度/高性能混凝土和钢材、复合材料、纤维增强混凝土、智能材料），(2)钢、钢筋混凝土和预应力混凝土结构的荷载和阻力模型的开发，(3)诊断程序（测试、性能监视器、无损技术、信号处理、集成传感器系统、声学和光学技术），(4)混凝土结构（钢筋混凝土、预应力混凝土、钢材、新型复合材料）修复和修复的材料和技术。因此，研讨会试图对美国和欧洲的主要主题进行最新的总结，以确定研究需求，特别是合作项目的主题；并提出反映近期人力、技术转让和教育需求的建议。研讨会有研究人员和顾问参加。当地的组织者还组织特别的会议、会议和到建筑工地的实地考察。结果将在最终报告中提出。

The objective of the US-European Workshop on Bridges is to the recentadvancements in bridge engineering, focusing on new materials and technology, monitoringand diagnostics involving integrated sensor systems, new methods of analysis, design,evaluation, repair and rehabilitation of bridges used in Europe, and identify the mostsuitable topics for joint research projects. The major areas to be covered include: (1)advanced materials (high-strength/high-performance concrete and steel, composites,fiber-reinforced concrete, smart materials), (2) development of load and resistance modelsfor steel and reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures, (3) diagnosticprocedures (tests, performance monitors, nondestructive techniques, signal processing,integrated sensor systems, acoustic and optical techniques), (4) materials and techniquesfor repair and rehabilitation of concrete structures (reinforced and prestressed concrete,steel, new composite materials). Accordingly the Workshop attempts to state ofthe art summary of main topics as viewed on one hand in the U.S. and, on the other hand,in Europe, identify the research needs, in particular topics for cooperative projects; andderive some recommendations that reflect the needs in manpower, technology transfer andeducation for the near future. The Workshop involves researchers and consultants. Thelocal organizers also organize special meetings, a conference, and field trips to theconstruction sites. The results will be presented in the final report.
