GOALI：反射裂缝控制处理和设计程序：一种新的综合方法提案编号：0219566 PIs：Glaucio H.Paulino，Philip布兰肯希普和威廉·巴特拉摘要伊利诺伊大学将与科赫材料公司的研究人员和员工合作，大力扩展关于反射裂缝控制系统损伤机制的基本知识。业界和学术界的合作伙伴将通过先进的实验室测试和仪器计划、开发用于现场性能数据的新模型来解决上述问题。作为该项目的行业合作伙伴，科赫材料公司将提供：(1)年度配对资金；(2)技术专长，包括获取现场安装和性能数据；(3)为UIUC的实验室测试提供实验室和现场材料；(4)通过在堪萨斯州威奇托市的国家实验室进行长期实地访问并担任博士论文委员会成员，为UIUC学生提供指导。与伊利诺伊大学的“肯特纪念奖学金基金”相结合，建议的匹配资金水平为所要求的NSF目标资金的168%。UIUC可用来处理拟议研究问题的计算和实验室设施是真正世界级的，包括国家超级计算应用中心(NCSA)和先进运输研究与工程实验室(ATREL)。作为拟议的三方杠杆的结果，研究团队将包括两名跨学科的教员、三名博士生、每年一名本科生研究助理、几名来自科赫材料公司的行业研究人员，以及每年夏季在ATREL主办的夏季少数族裔研究生项目的至少一名学生。

GOALI: Reflective Crack Control Treatment and Design Procedures:A New Integrated Approach Proposal Number: 0219566PIs: Glaucio H. Paulino, Philip Blankenship and William ButtlarAbstract The University of Illinois will collaborate with researchers and staff from Koch Materials Company to vigorously expand fundamental knowledge of damage mechanisms in reflective crack control systems. The industry-academia partners will address the aforementioned problem through an advanced laboratory testing and instrumentation program, development of new models to field performance data. As the industry partner to this venture, Koch Materials Company will provide: (1) annual matching funds; (2) technical expertise, including access to field installation and performance data; (3) laboratory and field materials for laboratory testing at UIUC, and; (4) mentoring of UIUC students through extended site visits at the national laboratory in Wichita, Kansas, and by serving on doctoral thesis committees. Combined with the University of Illinois "Kent Memorial Scholarship Fund," matching funds are proposed at a level of 168% of the requested NSF GOALI funds. The computational and laboratory facilities available at UIUC to bear upon the proposed research problem are truly world-class, and include the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and the Advance Transportation Research and Engineering Laboratory (ATREL). As a result of the proposed three-way leveraging, the research team will consist of two cross-discipline faculty members, three doctoral students, one undergraduate research assistant per year, several industry researchers from Koch Materials Company, and at least one student per year from the Summer Graduate Minority Program hosted at ATREL, each summer.
