International Research Fellowship Program: Geotechnical Engineering - Efficient Design of Deep Foundations in Cemented Soils

国际研究员奖励计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行三到二十四个月的研究。该项目的奖项提供了联合研究的机会，并利用国外独特或互补的设施、专业知识和实验条件。该奖项将支持Jason T.DeJong博士与西澳大利亚大学的Mark Randolph博士在西澳大利亚州内德兰兹合作进行为期六个月的博士后研究奖学金。在世界各地拥有胶结砂岩沉积的地区，正在以越来越快的速度建造深基础。然而，目前的经验设计方法表现不佳，因此必须改进以提高设计性能。在正确实施先进的计算机模拟方法之前，必须了解控制深基础行为的机制并将其纳入模型中。该项目将研究这些机制，并为水泥土中的深基础建模提供一个初步框架。西澳大利亚大学是深基础设计的主要机构之一。主持人是深基础领域的权威人士。

The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad.This award will support a six-month postdoctoral research fellowship by Dr. Jason T. DeJong to work with Dr. Mark Randolph at the University of Western Australia in Nedlands, West Australia.Deep foundations are being constructed at an ever increasing rate in regions with cemented sand deposits throughout the world. However, current empirical design methods perform inadequately, and thus advances must be made to improve design performance. Before advanced computer modeling methods can be properly implemented, the mechanisms governing deep foundation behavior must be understood and incorporated into models. This project will investigate these mechanisms and provide a preliminary framework for modeling deep foundations in cemented soils.The University of Western Australia is one of the premier institutions in the design of deep foundations. The host is a leading authority in the field of deep foundations.
