US-Poland Workshop on Diagnostics of Concrete Materials for Infrastructure Facilities; April 2004; Warsaw, Poland

拟议中的研讨会的目的是回顾波兰和美国在混凝土材料及其在民用基础设施系统中的应用方面的最新进展，确定最适合合作的主题。研讨会的重点是材料的性质、劣化形式及其对结构性能的影响，以及材料的定量分析。将涵盖的主要领域包括：(1)先进材料(高强/高性能混凝土、复合材料、纤维混凝土、智能材料)、(2)钢筋混凝土和预应力混凝土结构的劣化形式、(3)诊断程序(测试、性能监测、无损技术、信号处理、集成传感器系统、声学和光学技术)、(4)混凝土结构的维修和修复材料和技术(钢筋和预应力混凝土、新型复合材料)。因此，研讨会将试图回顾美国和波兰的主要主题的最新进展摘要，确定研究需求，特别是合作项目的主题，并得出一些反映近期人力、技术转让和教育需求的建议。当地组织者还将组织专题会议、实验室参观和对建筑工地的参观。结果将在报告中公布。

AbstractThe objective of the proposed Workshop is to review the recent advancements in concrete materials and their applications for civil infrastructure systems in Poland and the United States, identify the most suitable topics for collaboration. The Workshop will focus on materials properties, forms of deterioration and their effects on structural performance, and quantitative analysis of materials. The major areas to be covered include: (1) advanced materials (high-strength/high-performance concrete, composites, fiber-reinforced concrete, smart materials), (2) forms of deterioration for reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures, (3) diagnostic procedures (tests, performance monitors, nondestructive techniques, signal processing, integrated sensor systems, acoustic and optical techniques), (4) materials and techniques for repair and rehabilitation of concrete structures (reinforced and prestressed concrete, new composite materials). Accordingly, the Workshop will attempt to review state of the art summary of main topics as viewed on one hand in the U.S. and, on the other hand, in Poland, identify the research needs, in particular, topics for cooperative projects, and derive some recommendations that reflect the needs in manpower, technology transfer and education for the near future. The local organizers will also organize special meetings, lab tours and visits to the construction sites. The results will be presented in the report.
