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

描述：本提案支持马里兰大学Deborah Goodings博士和Bogazici大学Erol Guler博士的合作。项目资金将允许Guler博士在Goodings博士的实验室中度过八个月，以便合作研究一系列土工离心机模型，研究土工布加固挡土墙的影响。研究成果可为低成本挡土墙的施工带来新的设计技术。范围：本提案将汇集两国大学在岩土工程离心机模型领域的研究科学家。预计这项合作研究将导致挡土墙新设计技术的发展。Guler博士将有机会熟悉他的大学目前没有的研究设备。因此，该提案实现了发展中国家科学项目通过国际合作交流和转移科学知识的目标。

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.
