Research Vehicle for Geotechnical Insitu Testing and Support(REVEGITS)

许多现场试验要求以相当慢的速度将装置垂直推入地下。这通常是通过安装在大型车辆上的液压柱塞总成来实现的。将配备一辆多用途研究车辆进行现场岩土试验。该设备将允许更好的表征，分析和理解多孔（软）土壤在其自然环境中的行为。此外，该研究还将为软土渗透机理研究提供新的仪器和校准方法。

Many in situ tests require that a device be pushed, at a fairly slow rate, vertically into the ground. This is commonly achieved with a hydraulic ram assembly mounted on a large vehicle. A multi-purpose research vehicle will be outfitted for in situ geotechnical testing. The equipment will allow for better characterization, analysis, and understanding of the behavior of porous (soft) soils in their natural setting. In addition, the research will provide new instrumentation and calibration procedures needed for studies on penetration mechanisms in soft soils.
