Modernization of the Undergraduate Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory.

在这个项目下，巴克内尔大学将使其岩土工程现代化， 土木工程系实验室。 设备将 测量土壤和岩石的三轴抗剪强度 切变 三轴控制面板和三轴单元将允许 测量和控制外部施加的总应力， 孔隙水压力、试件体积变化和应力路径。 固结仪将用于测量固结特性 包括前期固结压力和固结时间速率 的土壤。 该实验室现代化将允许学生进行 在各种土壤类型上进行的实验室测试， 设备.

Under this project, Bucknell University will modernize its geotechnical laboratory within the civil engineering department. Equipment will be obtained to measure the shear strength of soil and rock in triaxial shear. Triaxial control panels and triaxial cells will allow the students to measure and control the externally applied total stresses, the pore water pressure, specimen volume change and the stress path. Consolidometers will be used to measure the consolidation properties including preconsolidation pressures and the time rate of consolidation of soils. This laboratory modernization will permit students to conduct laboratory tests on a wide range of soil types with up-to-date equipment.
