This project improves an existing geotechnical laboratory by adding soil characterization instrumentation having computer interfaced data acquisition. These instruments are used to measure permeability, compressibility and shear strength. The equipment acquired includes triaxial testing units with pore pressure and volume change measuring apparatus, consolidometers, permeameters, and data acquisition computers and software. This project permits the addition of a required laboratory to improve the teaching of geotechnical engineering. The laboratory introduces recent development in theory, practice, and methods of testing. The addition of this apparatus permits a unified approach to theory and practice while promoting the understanding of basic concepts and enhancing the utility and creativity of graduates. The award is being matched by an equal amount from the principal investigator's institution.

该项目通过增加具有计算机接口数据采集的土壤表征仪器来改进现有的岩土实验室。这些仪器用于测量渗透率、压缩性和剪切强度。获得的设备包括带有孔压和体积变化测量仪器的三轴试验装置、固结仪、渗透率计以及数据采集计算机和软件。该项目允许增加一个所需的实验室，以改善岩土工程的教学。该实验室介绍了理论、实践和测试方法方面的最新发展。这一装置的增加使理论和实践统一起来，同时促进了对基本概念的理解，并增强了毕业生的实用性和创造性。由首席调查员所在机构提供的等额奖金将与此相匹配。
