Research Experience For Undergraduates (REU): Laboratory Research in Civil and Environmental Engineering

利用土木和环境工程主要领域的强大实验研究计划，REU现场活动将允许本科生参与动手实验室实验。设有六个土木与环境工程实验室：(1)混凝土与建筑材料，(2)环境工程，(3)岩土工程，(4)水力学，(5)遥感，(6)结构工程。实验室的经验可以激励学生考虑在工程方面进行进一步的学习和研究。8名学生将参加；4名来自主办机构以外。研究项目包括：(1)中子射线成像技术在混凝土中的应用；(2)二氧化碳交换速率对中和酸性湖泊的影响；(3)地震荷载下土壤动力学和土壤液化；(4)地表不稳定河流中的气体输送；(5)遥感数字图像分析；冷弯型钢和钢筋混凝土。

Using a strong experimental research program in the principal areas of civil and environmental engineering, this REU site activity will permit undergraduate students to be involved in hands-on laboratory experiments. Six civil and environmental engineering laboratories are available for undergraduate research: (1) concrete and construction materialsb, (2) environmental engineering, (3) geotechnical, (4) hydraulics, (5) remote sensing, and (6) structural engineering. The laboratory experience well motivate the students to consider advanced studies and research in engineering. Eight students will participate; four from outside the host institution. Research projects include: (1) neutron radiography applied to concrete, (2) effects of carbon dioxide exchange rate on neutralized acid lakes, (3) soil dynamics and liquefraction of soil due to earthquake loadings, (4) gas transfer in streams with surface instabilities, (5) remote sensing digital image analysis, and cold-formed steel and reinforced concrete.
