NATO-NSF Workshop on Model-Based Simulation of Durability of Materials and Structures

University Of Colorado At Boulder, Boulder CO

Investigators

Abstract

0090252 Inadequate long-term durability of civil engineering infrastructure has been a major problem with enormous economic loss to many countries. So far, progress towards solving the problem has been hampered by the lack of mathematical approaches among classical-type durability researches, and lack of interest or understanding of the qualitative mechanisms among mathematician and mechanicians. The Workshop will stimulate dialog between these two groups. The workshop will be held at Czech Technical University, Prague, in March or April 2002. Duration of the Workshop is planned to be 2.5 to 3 days. About 40 participants are expected, of which 15 to 20 will be from the U.S. Complementary funding from NATO and from local sources in Prague will be applied.***
