- Abstract
- A workshop was held March 1 and 2, 1983 at the U.S. National Bureau of Standards. The objective was to bring together an international group of experts for the purpose of information exchange on the subject of the performance of Arctic offshore concrete structures. The workshop participants were divided into four working groups to discuss the following subjects related to Arctic offshore concrete structures: (1) design; (2) materials; (3) construction; and (4) inspection and repair. Each working group addressed the following topics within their subject: past experiences, current projects, and recommended research areas. The chairmen of each group prepared reports summarizing their group's deliberations. These reports are incorporated into this workshop summary.
