出 访 成 果 报 告 | During my visit in Miami, I was invited to give a presentation in the “National USA Accelerated Bridge Construction” Conference, in a preconference Workshop and I met some American professors and international experts to establish relationship with the College of Civil Engineering. The visit was very fruitful and allows to enlarge the influence of the College inUSAand all the contacts will continue in the next future. In the following you can find a more detailed description of my visit: -December 6 On December 6, I was invited to take part and give a presentation in the preconference meeting WC-11 Accelerated Bridge Construction W-11: Accelerated Bridge Construction in Seismic RegionsWednesday, December 6, 2017 – 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Introduction:This workshop provides an opportunity for exchange of the latest information in research and implementation of ABC in seismic regions. Devising connections that can accommodate inelastic cyclic deformations and are readily constructible is the primary challenge for ABC in seismic regions. Ductile behavior is desirable under earthquake loadings for both the longitudinal and transverse directions of the bridge. The workshop demonstrates technologies for delivering bridge construction projects in weeks, rather than months, for reducing congestion, improving safety and increasing the quality of highway bridges in seismic regions.
