Project Development Visit on Theory of Finite Strain Consolidation

该奖项支持美国南斯拉夫项目发展访问南斯拉夫萨格勒布的Gradevinski研究所。此次访问的主要目的是在科罗拉多大学土木、环境和建筑工程系的Robert Schiffman博士和Gradevinski研究所的Antun Szavits-Nossan博士之间就软土的有限应变固结的综合理论制定一项合作研究方案。该项目得到了美国-南斯拉夫科学技术合作联合委员会的批准，并由一个由美国和南斯拉夫政府提供对等捐款的联合基金提供资金。美国的捐款每年由国务院提供，不涉及NSF资金。赠款主要由南斯拉夫第纳尔组成，并提供给南斯拉夫的主要研究所。一个项目发展奖为这位美国科学家提供前往南斯拉夫的旅费。

This award supports a U.S. Yugoslav project development visit to the Gradevinski Institute, Zagreb, Yugoslavia. The primary purpose of the visit is to develop a collaborative research proposal between Dr. Robert Schiffman of the University of Colorado's Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering and Dr. Antun Szavits-Nossan at the Gradevinski Institute on a comprehensive theory of finite strain consolidation of soft soils. This project was approved by the U.S.-Yugoslav Joint Board on Cooperation in Science and Technology and is funded through a joint fund consisting of matching contributions from the U.S. and Yugoslav governments. The U.S. contribution is provided annually by the Department of State and no NSF funds are involved. The grants are composed principally of Yugoslav dinars and made to the principal Yugoslav institute. A project development award provides travel funds for the American scientist to Yugoslavia.
