Investigation of Creep and Collaspe Mechanisms in Soil

这笔资金用于购买土壤测试设备，以允许两名年轻教师在一所大学开始岩土工程研究项目，这所大学以前没有岩土工程方面的活跃项目，但位于一个主要的大都市区（迈阿密）。该设备是专门允许性能测试，以测量蠕变和崩溃特性的自然和压实土壤。

This grant is for soil testing equipment to allow two young faculty members to begin a research program in geotechnical engineering at a university that has not previously had an active program in geotechnical engineering, but which is located in a major metropolitan area (Miami). The equipment is specifically to allow performance of tests to measure the creep and collapse characteristics of both natural and compacted soils.
