0118956TumayDescription: This award is for support of a US-Turkey Workshop on Geothechnical Engineering Research to be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ICSMGE) in Istanbul, Turkey. The ICSMGE is planned for August 27-31, 2001 and the workshop will to follow on September 1, 2001. The US organizer is Dr. Mehmet Tumay, Professor of Civil Engineering, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Turkish co-organizer is Dr. Ergun Togrol, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss the emerging issues and technologies in geotechnical engineering that will result from the ICSMGE, and to identify selected research areas for mutually beneficial collaboration. Scope: This award will support a US-Turkey workshop in an area that is increasingly gaining importance in both countries and in countries of west Asia and the Caucasus. The study of soil behavior is important for assessing the safety of structures in unusual or severe loading conditions, such as during liquifaction due to increased water content (floods) or due to strong ground motion (earthquakes). The development of guidelines for design and use of structures in these conditions will benefit all countries involved in this research. Most of the supported US participants are junior scientists who will have a unique opportunity to meet with colleagues from Turkey and several countries in the region during the ICSMGE Conference and the US-Turkey Workshop. They will also visit Turkish laboratories to discuss possible joint research. Both the US and Turkish organizers have excellent experiences and capabilities in the field, and they will have the backing of important organizations such as the American Society of Civil Engineers and Istanbul Technical University. Funding for this project is provided by the Division of International Programs and the Division of Civil and Mechanical Systems.

描述：该奖项是对美国-土耳其岩土工程研究研讨会的支持，该研讨会将与在土耳其伊斯坦布尔举行的土力学和岩土工程国际会议(ICSMGE)一起举行。ICSMGE计划于2001年8月27日至31日举行，研讨会将于2001年9月1日举行。美国的组织者是路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日的路易斯安那州立大学土木工程教授穆罕默德·图迈博士。土耳其的联合组织者是土耳其伊斯坦布尔技术大学土木工程学院的Ergan Togrol博士。讲习班的目的是讨论ICSMGE将产生的岩土工程方面新出现的问题和技术，并确定互利合作的选定研究领域。范围：该奖项将支持美国和土耳其在两国以及西亚和高加索国家日益重要的一个领域举办研讨会。在异常或严重荷载条件下，例如由于含水率增加(洪水)或由于强地面运动(地震)而发生液化期间，对土体特性的研究对于评估结构的安全性非常重要。制定在这些条件下设计和使用结构的准则将使参与这项研究的所有国家受益。大多数受支持的美国参与者是初级科学家，他们将有独特的机会在ICSMGE会议和美国-土耳其研讨会期间与来自土耳其和该地区几个国家的同事见面。他们还将访问土耳其的实验室，讨论可能的联合研究。美国和土耳其的组织者在这一领域都拥有出色的经验和能力，他们将得到美国土木工程师学会和伊斯坦布尔技术大学等重要组织的支持。该项目的资金由国际方案司和土木工程与机械系统司提供。
