The National Geotechnical Experimentation Sites (NGES) program comprises a system of six well-characterized sites located throughout the United States that are available for full-scale geotechnical experiments. In 1998, the National Council for Geo-Engineering and Construction (the Geo Council), a council of ten geo-related organizations, assumed management of the NGES program. The Geo Council expressed interest in expanding the program to new types of sites, such as a geoenvironmental site or a rock site. In addition, with FHWA support, the NGES database is currently being updated and improved and will be a major asset for users including professionals, educators, researchers and students. In order to give direction and priorities to NGES program, a workshop is planned, with NSF support, to develop a broader vision for the program and inject some new thoughts and people into the process. The workshop, to be held in the fall, 2000, will be sponsored by the Geo Council and will produce a report that is widely disseminated and available on the council's Web site: www.geocouncil.org

国家岩土工程实验场地（NGES）计划包括位于美国各地的六个特征良好的场地系统，可用于全面的岩土工程实验。 1998年，由10个与地质有关的组织理事会的国家地质工程和建设理事会（地质理事会）承担了NGES计划的管理工作。 地质理事会表示有兴趣将该计划扩展到新型场地，例如地质环境场地或岩石场地。 此外，在FHWA的支持下，NGES数据库目前正在更新和改进，将成为包括专业人员、教育工作者、研究人员和学生在内的用户的重要资产。 为了给NGES计划提供方向和优先级，计划在NSF的支持下举办一个研讨会，为该计划制定更广泛的愿景，并为该过程注入一些新的思想和人员。 该讲习班将于2000年秋季举行，由地球观测组织理事会赞助，并将编写一份报告，该报告将广泛分发，并可在理事会的网址www.geocouncil.org上查阅
