Geotextile Reinforced Lime-Clay Retaining Walls, (U.S. Turkey Cooperative Research; SDC)

描述：该提案支持博士的合作。 马里兰州大学的黛博拉·古丁和埃罗尔·古勒博士， 博阿齐奇大学。 项目资金将使Guler博士能够 在古丁斯博士的实验室待了八个月 合作开发一系列土工离心模型 土工织物加筋支挡效果研究 墙 研究成果可能带来新的设计技术 以降低挡土墙的建造成本。 范围：该提案将汇集研究科学家 来自两个国家的大学， 土工离心模型 预计这一 合作研究将导致开发新的 挡土墙的设计技术。 古勒博士将有一个 有机会熟悉研究设备， 目前在他的大学里还没有。 因此本 建议实现科学促进发展的目标 科学技术交流和转让的国家方案 知识通过国际合作。

Description: This proposal supports the collaboration of Dr. Deborah Goodings, University of Maryland and Dr. Erol Guler, University of Bogazici. Project funding will allow Dr. Guler to spend eight months in Dr. Goodings laboratory in order to collaborate on a series of geotechnical centrifuge models investigating the effects on geotextile reinforced retaining walls. Research results may bring about new design techniques for less expensive construction of retaining walls. Scope: This proposal will bring together research scientists from the universities of two countries working in the area of geotechnical centrifuge models. It is anticipated that this collaborative research will result in the development of new design techniques for retaining walls. Dr. Guler will have an opportunity to familiarize himself with research equipment that is presently not available in his university. Therefore, this proposal fulfils objectives of the Science in Developing Countries Program in its exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge through an international collaboration.
